It does not occur when turning on flat ground. I first noticed the noise in fall 2025, a few months before taking the vehicle to Tesla. Tesla Service ([XXX]) took the car in for this complaint and on XXX replaced the front lower lateral links and front lower compliance links (both sides) and performed an alignment, at a cost of $1,886.78, at 44,486 miles. The noise was unchanged immediately after the repair. On XXX I reported through the Tesla app that the car was 'still making the same exact knocking sound,' and returned to the service center; a technician test-drove the car with me, could not replicate the noise on flat roads, and said the car was fine, without putting the car on a lift or re-inspecting the suspension. The noise has continued and progressively worsened over the following year and now sometimes occurs with slight steering inputs. The car currently has 52,126 miles. I am filing because the front lower lateral links Tesla replaced are the component under investigation in PE26006 for detachment, and Tesla's defect information for recall 23V-235 identifies abnormal front suspension noise when steering as an early warning of loosening lateral link fasteners. My car is a 2017, outside the current PE26006 population (2018-2020), but it shows the same symptom pattern and had the same components replaced. No crash, fire, or injury.
