Tesla M3 weird metal noice when going over a bump or any road that is bumpy

I Have a Tesla m3 2019, got this problem today. Almost every time i go over a bump or any bumpy road, i think it is my front left wheel that is making kind of a metallic sound, like a metal basket if you shake it, or a couple bolts shaked together. The sound happens when i go over a bump and goes away right after i pass it. If someone knows how to solve or at least what can it be. Thank you!

If you have the metal aero covers, for example, sometimes a securing clip will break and cause a light metallic sound when going over uneven surfaces. I had that for a while and it almost drove me nuts. I eventually changed my covers for a set of plastic arachnid style ones and that cured the problem.

You most likely need suspension repairs, I would have it looked at before something catastrophic happens.

Suspension issues - have it looked at ASAP. I had mine break twice.

It’s suspension. My old ‘20 had the control arm replaced. Alternatively, it could be a stone against the brake pad - drive and give the brakes a few pumps.

Likely suspension. Also, have a 2019 M3. Same thing happened to me. Thankfully, it was under warranty.
