Rivian R1T Upper Control Arm Failure

Jump to Latest

A scary moment for this R1T owner where they experienced some kind of ball joint failure. Seems like something wasn't tightened properly. Hopefully everyone's ok.

We are all human but we are not all mechanics look like the nut wasn't tight on the ball joint/ upper control arm

Mine didn't come all the way off, but I was close. Fortunately I recognized the signs of a loose upper ball joint before this happened to me. It wasn't an issue at the factory, but I had just had the strut replaced at a service center.

Maybe the next all-employee training at Rivian should be “Torque Wrench 101” vs “What is a micro-aggression?”

They’re supposed to go round-n’-round.

Sad this is happening, but reminds me of the bit comedian Ron White did about having Sears change the tires on his van....
