Valid, but your gen1 could’ve also had been as quiet if service used revised components available to all. Gen1 owners do NOT need to get a gen2 to make it this quiet. Open service tickets, and with some persistence you can achieve similar results. It’s not a gen2 thing, it’s a revision of component things. Some late gen1’s already had a lot of this in place already.
How much do you still hear the half-shafts?
The suspension on my late model Gen 1 Quad is already pretty quiet. When I hit big potholes there’s maybe a little suspension noise, but seems like that happens in even the best cars if the pothole is deep enough. So as you said, they probably already started including some of the Gen 2 suspension updates in late model Gen 1s. Part of the Gen 2 suspension update includes better rubber components to help deaden excessive vibrations, mentioned here
ok, I found Rivian’s official bulletin for the chirping suspension issue
Same PN, slightly different revision.ok, I found Rivian’s official bulletin for the chirping suspension issue
anyone who requests this fix should get their front air springs updated by Rivian under warranty. However, they say nothing about the rear air springs but it sounds like you got those replaced as well. Since Rivian’s primary suspension upgrade on Gen 2 is a redesign of the rear air springs, those are what I’d like to have retrofitted (assuming they’re actually using the new Gen 2 part on Gen 1s.)
@jpmc86 if possible, could you take a look at the Gen 2 suspension photos that Donald just posted and see if your replacement air springs match?
I just put in a service request for this suspension update. I guess I’ll find out if there’s any improvement in March when they do the work.
Correct. These new ones, are the gen2 struts. They have rubber from Firestone, where the old ones were goodridge.
All gen 1s have the old dampers I believe. Am I correct?
I think later models might have had the new ones. Point is, if you go to service now and they replace any damper, it will be a gen2 PN.
