why does my Tesla Outback's rear end sway when turning

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface.
• Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, socket set, torque wrench.

2. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the rear wheels to access the suspension components.
  2. Visually inspect the control arms and bushings for any signs of cracking or excessive wear.
  3. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or loss of damping. Replace if necessary.
  4. If any components are found to be defective, replace them with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts.
  5. Reassemble the suspension and wheels, ensuring proper torque specifications are followed (consult the service manual for specific torque values).

3. Perform Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. After replacing any worn components, have a professional alignment performed to ensure all angles are within manufacturer specifications.
  2. Use an alignment machine to adjust camber, caster, and toe angles as needed.
