Tesla Model 3 Model Y: Creaking / knocking from suspension

If you are seeing this symptom in Singapore, use this as a pre-workshop checklist. The goal is to identify the likely root cause, avoid replacing the wrong part, and know the fair repair range before approving work.

Fair SG range
$350–$900
Red-flag quote
$1,600+
Likely fix
Control arm / suspension link diagnosis and replacement

What this usually means

Tesla Model 3/Y suspension noises are often control arms or links, not the full strut. Ask for lifted inspection and proof of play before replacing larger assemblies.

What to ask the workshop before approving repair

  • • Show the diagnostic fault codes.
  • • Show photo/video proof of the failed part.
  • • Give an itemised quote for parts and labour.
  • • Explain why cheaper common fixes were ruled out.

This is not a final diagnosis. It is a money-saving checklist before you go workshop.
