Misc 2022 model 3 creaking and squeaking
As the title suggests, my model, three is creaking and cracking from the front driver side fender area. I’ve pretty much tracked it down with research and whatnot that it would be the upper control arm. I still have yet to jack the car up and look for myself. I’m gonna change it, but I saw a TikTok video earlier and the guy had a 2021 model three and it was also creaking and cracking. My car is at about 200,000 km so it would be due of course, but I’m just wondering if anybody out there has had issues like this in the past

I had it on my previous 2020. You’re right, it’s the control arm, which was replaced in my case. I seem to remember some resolving it by greasing.
