Hi All - Have recently started hearing loud clicking sound when I start my Rivian and take left or right turn. Logged a request with service center but their response is very slow. Meanwhile I am worried if something is getting damaged.

Thanks for advice.

this is a long, ongoing issue / normal thing. its likely not the motors but the suspension. search this forum and you'll find several threads on this topic. search for things like click, tick, tock, suspension

I have the same issue, especially when starting from a complete stop and going slightly uphill to the left.

I don’t think this is air compressor as that sound is very different. Anyways, will have to check when service team.

Mine does it in cold weather when turning either way and pushing it hard in conserve mode. Does not do it in other modes or when above 25 degrees. It makes no sense. Told Rivian. 30,000 miles and does not seem to be an issue or get worse.
