Description of the problem | Model 3 in the junkyard: https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicledetails/37485495? Rownumber=9 the front suspension has fallen to bits. The lower ball joint stem has snapped. A ball-joint stem is normally made from high grade steel and would be expected to tear through the hole in the cast alloy steering knuckle before it would itself snap. Tesla must be obtaining these suspension parts from a a team of monkeys working in someone's back shed. Musk is fond of using the words insane and ludicrous. In the case of the snapping suspensions these words make perfect sense. It would be nice if you would take action but i won't be holding my breath. Yours whompily. Keef |
