I didn't see any videos and I know there are lots of reports of a clicking sound but most say it happens in all heights. This only was happening while in High mode and no other mode.

I normally run all purpose mid height but with the snow I put it in high just in case and was surprised when I accelerated a little quickly to hear this sound.

I'm guessing this is a known sound to someone but I couldn't find something similar when looking online.

Worn interface splines either on the drive unit side, or hub assembly side. Half shaft and hub assembly will likely need to be replaced. Could also be as simple as tightening the bold inside the hub assembly to keep the interface firmly in place.

It sounds like it's already rounded off the teeth though in your case. so replacement.

Thanks, I have an appointment early next month due to the air shocks leaking and just sent Rivian this video and let them know this is happening as well. I never heard back on this so thought I would post here!
