I’d imagine going from a very low vin Lauch Edition to a Gen 2 must be a huge step up. However, I think a lot of the improvements in cabin noise, suspension, and overall build were rolling changes Rivian made throughout the last several years of Gen 1 production. The suspension alone has gone...
What I’d like to know is what the current part # is for a Gen 2 rear damper. Any Gen 2 R1S owners care to take a look in their rear wheel well and find out?
Pro Tip: put your suspension in the highest setting before you look as that will make it easier to see the part # sticker.
With the EV credit, the lease w/early buyout option is clearly the best scenario if you’re trying to minimize overall cost. Whether or not strictly leasing will ultimately allow you to earn more In the markets comes to down to discipline and a fair amount of luck, but I agree it can be an...
sorry to hear you’re dealing with these issues. Although, glad to see that you found the Gen 1 Quad lease deal you were looking for. What specs did you end up with?
Luke, the head of vehicle dynamics at Rivian, mentioned that the rear dampers were redesigned for Gen 2. So, likely the biggest changes in ride quality would have to do with the updated rear dampers.
Looking around, I’m seeing these part #s for rear dampers:
2022 Lauch Edition?

@dradam thanks for the info! The comparison in ride quality between late Gen 1 and Gen 2 is particularly insightful. I read so many complaints about the Gen 1 R1S ride so I was surprised that mine seemed pretty good. It’s becoming clear there were both software and hardware changes that improved...
I bought a 2023 R1S used in October. I asked several reps, but they all said I wasn’t eligible for a free adapter. Lo and behold, last week I ordered a console organizer and received an adapter instead! So I guess is was fated to be….
Ok, after studying some photos of various Rivian G1 front suspension units, I’ve concluded the following:
The air springs have these numbers:
Right: C100055319-B
Left: C100055317-B
I’ve also seen, not sure what the difference is.
Right: P00055319-B
Left: P00055317-B
Right: PT00055319-D...
@jpmc86 I see in another thread your front dampers on your 2023 R1S originally had this part # C100055319-B
What part number is displayed on the current retrofitted dampers you have now?
My 2023 R1S (Aug build) has part number C200055318 - A on the left side and C200055320 - A on the right...
Are the Gen 2 suspension components not still made by Monroe? If you look at the photos Donald provided of the Gen 2 suspension on his Tri, the labels still say Monroe so I don’t think Rivian changed suppliers for suspension parts.
Perhaps the reason you don’t notice as much of a difference in...
Could you look up the build date and/or vin? If you open the driver side door the build date is part of the info on the B pillar info plaque.
My Quad was also originally purchased in Dec 2023 (built Aug.2023/ vin 18xxx.) If yours was built around the same time or later, it may validate my...
It’s my understanding that if you hear chirping at low speeds they’re pretty much required to do the replacement..
I honestly can’t say my suspension is really noisy at all. I’m guessing by late Gen 1 they already corrected some of the noise issues with the suspension, but I may also be lucky...
thanks for that! The taper and lack of white plastic is also what I noticed on the newer dampers. They’re just replacing the dampers (the top part with the rubber boot,) and not the air spring which is below, correct? If so, do you know what the part number is for the just the damper?
The Quad offer is likely just an outdated snippet. I’ve seen a few others like that from Rivian. Their web team must be a little sloppy updating meta data or google could just be pulling old info.
regardless, there still are Quads that come up for lease many time a month. Here’s one from a week...
