I'm wondering if my suspension issue is due to wheel alignment not being performed following replacement of the rear Drive Unit? Car feels like an empty solid rear axle pickup truck with all the bouncing of the rear suspension. I have another appt with the SC in 2 weeks for this issue, and hope...
Definitely NOT common on EVs with air suspension. both my tesla's with air suspensions have never had this issue and feel solid. Maybe this is the reason Rivian's trying to have their drive units designed in-house? Will improved DU's resolve issue with the excessive clunking noise?
Took the SC 2 weeks - 1 week for diagnosis, another week to place order and perform work. After picking up my car following replacement of the rear drive unit, I started noticing a very bouncy rear suspension, occasional/continued whishing noise (something spinning) and a lot of subtle clunking...
After picking up my car from the SC following replacement of the rear drive unit, I started noticing a very bouncy rear suspension and a lot of clunking noise. Work required them to remove the air/suspension for the job, and wondering if they might not have properly bolted everything up...

Comparing my wife's 2023 X to my 2024 R1S, main differences I've noticed are efficiency (Tesla wins), roominess(R1S *with auto frunk!!), utility (R1S), UI (Tesla is years ahead) and driving dynamics (Tesla). I went with the Rivian as their current lease offering is unbeatable when comparing...
I'd say that number was achieved for the R1S due to their pretty amazing lease offering in Q1. Was considering several other EV's before I decided to go with the Rivian due to their lease-MSRP rate of 1.05%. Even convinced 2 other family members to do the same in March. Keeping the lease...
I took delivery of my new R1S on 3/26 and noticed that the driver+ feature wasn't engaging throughout my drive home. Thought car just needed a few miles to calibrate(I'm coming from multiple Teslas and this has been the case with autopilot) and so gave it a few days before looking more into it...
