found the issue. I'm sharing so others may learn from my mistake. I damaged the line going from the hydraulic pump to the solenoid when lowering or reinstalling the pump. Be careful because the line is easily damaged. After running the pump and blipping the solenoids I reassembled the pump...

I did it! Took a trip to Yosemite with no problems. All dash light turned off and I was happy. Then 2 months later on our way to Vegas the “reservoir/filter” on the R/L damper started leaking. We were 400miles from home and about 100 from Vegas. We had to get towed back. It turns out the R/L...

I’m a visual learner so I uploaded this picture to make sure I understand. I also need further instruction on how to supply power to the solenoid.

How do you "blip" the solenoids. And when I run the pump am I suppose to remove the black and white wires from the pump and apply the 12v directly to the pump?

I haven’t been able to get a hold of a replacement receptacle. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and pay the $1179 for the R/R strut. 😠 My R/L strut bottom receptacle is also a bit damaged but is fully seated. I will find a way to secure the connection to the harness connector. It seems...

IAAI seems to think it is. From their website: Vehicle Loading - A service fee applies. Buyer understands that the loading process is fraught with danger to person or property because it involves lifting a vehicle with forklifts and placing the vehicle on a transporter. The forklifts could cause...

Did you by chance have to replace your struts and have the old ones?

That would be the worst news I can hear about making this repair.

I'm missing the bottom connector. Does anyone know the part number?

Thank you! I'd rather do it myself for that price.

it seems I can't upload from my phone, but my computer has no issues uploading the images. It's not safe to use round pucks and the bottle jack/jack stand combo in the picture.

how much did they charge? I'd have to tow my vehicle it's about 30miles for me. I'm also out of warranty and I worry they'll insist on changing everything that has any imperfection. If I had to pay for the tow for them to tell me it's more than I'm willing to pay I'll be stuck towing the vehicle...

Im missing the entire piece your holding on one side and on the other side it’s damaged. I’m going to see if I can order those. Were you able to get a retaining clip?

I started the tear down but I’m unable to upload pictures here perhaps because I’m new. The pump was a little bit of a pain to get out because of the sponge and grommet. I don’t have the Parker quick connect so I will order that before continuing. I used a CAT 4ton bottle jack/jack stand combo...

In hollywood mechanics video showing us his vaccum pump/pressure chamber setup he stated 80lbs, but in his other earlier video when he’s explaining the process to evacuate and pressure fill the hyrdraulic lines he stated 120psi. I’m left wondering which one is the right pressure. Im currently at...

When you put it that way it doesn’t make sense not to do both front and rear. Thank you.

Hi. I’m new here and just joined the Rivian community with the purchase of my own R1T at auction. It’s interesting to see that I’m not the only unlucky buyer that had his hydraulic lines damaged by a forklift driver. I would surmise that many Rivians bought at auction and loaded or moved with...
