days after update to 77-C I am still rattle free. I have used the raise/lower suspension function multiple times. Chassis ears are an electronic device that transmits vibration from suspension points via clamps to a main unit where they are converted to sound. I bought my first set of wired STEELMAN ChassisEars when I was an apprentice and they still serve me well. I’ve used them to diagnose suspension, brake and driveline faults. However, securing the cables into the vehicle to the receiver unit and preventing them from rubbing on the tyres and has always been difficult with one or two casualties on the way. NO WIRES - Bluetooth connected transmitter attaches to clamp or probe to wirelessly transmit data to a connected device COLOR CODED MODULE - Kit includes a single vibration and noise sensor clamp and Bluetooth transmitter module with a color coded silicone rubber boot Diagnosing and pinpointing squeaks and rattles in vehicles has always been a challenge for automotive technicians.

However, after the change of suspension the steering wheel is not aligned with the wheels... when having the steering wheel level/straight the car slightly turns to the right! The cheap Chinese clone ones have exactly the same issues, the microphones need to be subject to much stricter quality control. Although you won’t need assistance maneuver the cables, wireless chassis ears stress reliance on batteries. Therefore, when deciding between wired or wireless chassis ears to diagnose a vehicle's noise, it is essential to weigh all the pros and cons, such as price point, battery life, and sound capabilities.

Magnetic transmitter units can be easily attached to many different parts of the vehicle and secured with Velcro straps to stop the part from moving during travel. If you read my post you would know that the latest attempt to resolve it on my vehicle was Jan 2019. Have no idea which version of the latest revision it was. So one problem fixed, a new one created... the story of my time as Tesla owner... third time a new fault is created when going in to fix something else... UNBELIEVABLE!! Just wanted to add my experience to the list: I took delivery at the beginning of 2017 of a new inventory MS P100D so I'm assuming Q4 2016 build, and almost immediately noticed the rattle/clunking noise in the front suspension being discussed in this thread (#1 in the quoted wav file). I finally got it replaced at the beginning of this year after reading that this was a common issue with no known fix, hoping that by now it would have been fixed.

Before we talk about using these chassis ears, always be sure to have one person driving the vehicle, and someone else monitor noises. Attempting to drive a car and listen for noises can lead to distracted driving.

Chassis ears allow mechanics to listen closely for abnormal loud noises that might indicate a faulty fuel injector. This way, they can arrive at an accurate diagnosis and take appropriate action to properly fix the problem before it causes any significant engine damage. Final Thoughts about Chassis Ears Use the suspension level changes multiple times a day (parking at home and work raised to very high, lowered to low on the highway most days)The KUNTEC 6-Channel Sensor Engine Stethoscope Kit is a one-of-a-kind technology that merges precision results with convenience. This advanced kit is designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of several mechanical operations, such as metallurgy, building materials engineering, and large-scale equipment cutting. Currently at 15.5K miles and 2.5 months since, and the rattle has not returned yet nor any other sounds.

Once of the great things about wireless chassis ears is not having a bunch of long cables to tend to. No more worrying about a cable becoming loose and getting caught in the axle. Something I have seen happen before. Positioning the transmitters in the proper locations is key for accurate diagnosis. Since the Steelman kit comes with four sensors, you can place the sensors in different locations to really pinpoint the noise. So it is certainly struts that get challenged by the problem which is UNKNOWN and is never been communicated to me so far. All we know is that it started happening after post-April (aka facelift) 2016 changes in front of the vehicle. The kit also boasts a complete soft bag earphone design, which offers comfort and effectively isolates outside noise for greater sensitivity. Not only does this stethoscope kit provide essential updates on the heart rate of machinery parts, but it does so with minimal effort required from the user.LCD TOUCHSCREEN - 4.3-inch color LCD touch sensitive screen equipped control unit with easy to use interface MULTI-CHANNEL - Connect up to six (6) color coded sensor clamps to different locations to find a noise's source
