🛞 Tesla Suspension Problems – What Owners Should Watch For
By Andrews Car Centre – Independent Tesla Repairs in Lincoln
Tesla is known for cutting-edge tech, fast acceleration, and sleek design — but like any vehicle, it’s not immune to wear and tear. One of the most common issues we’re seeing with Teslas in the real world? Suspension problems.
At Andrews Car Centre in Lincoln, we’re beginning to see more Model 3, Model Y and even older Model S owners needing suspension inspections and repairs — often sooner than they expected.
Here’s what Tesla owners should look out for, and how we can help.
⚠️ Why Tesla Suspension Takes a Beating
1. Heavy Vehicle Weight
Tesla’s battery packs make them significantly heavier than most petrol or diesel cars. This puts more constant strain on suspension components like:
-
Lower control arms
-
Ball joints
-
Coil springs
-
Bushes
2. Instant Torque
EVs deliver power instantly. That instant acceleration adds extra stress to joints and linkages — especially on front suspension components.
3. Roads in the UK
Lincolnshire roads (like most UK roads) aren’t kind to low-profile tyres and multi-link suspension setups. Potholes and speed bumps can quickly throw your alignment or damage parts.
🔍 Common Signs of Tesla Suspension Problems
If you notice any of these, it’s time for a check-up:
-
Clunking, knocking or creaking noises over bumps
-
Uneven tyre wear
-
Loose or vague steering feel
-
Visible camber angle (wheel tilts in or out)
-
Car pulls to one side while driving
-
“Suspension needs service” warning on screen
These symptoms can affect handling, safety, and long-term tyre wear.
