EV6 suspension how's yours holding up after 50k

Does it bounce at all from rebound after large bumps? If so, you need new shocks/dampers. 50k is slightly low but not a totally abnormal life for stock ones.

Thanks... That's the thing no rebound at all.... if there was I'd being thinking yeah shocks need looking at but!!!
All four corners are crashing and thumping with 36psi all round on the tyres zero extra weight just the driver
I suppose the 20 Inch wheels don't help but a 45 profile ain't that low

Thumping? That would point to shocks to me. Thumping makes me think they're bottoming out. They don't necessarily need to have rebound to be failed.

All four shocks are not going to fail at once and they won't do so without warning Stiffer sidewall tires in a lower profile size will though. Did you change brands?

It might be a good idea to have an alignment technician look around underneath the vehicle. Thuds and wobbles are not normal. EV or ICE. Suspension system are fairly similar so it doesn't have to be the Kia dealer.

The first issue - there are not many owners who have done 50K in their cars after a maximum of 18 months ownership so to get an idea if it is a one off issue or something more serious to think about is going to be difficult.

Second issue - suspension is controlled by many factors, shocks, springs, wish bars, control arms, brackets, knuckles and bushings etc etc and this is not the whole list, it could be an issue with any of these items.

The only sure way you find out is to get the car professionally inspected, you may try Kia or if you have it a local garage who specialise in suspension.

Trying to guess on this forum is not going to be an easy task with this issue.

Thank you... I did replace like for like with factory spec continentals...my first 20k or 30k car was riding beautiful but the problem is getting worse over time i do about 1k a week... Interestingly the interior is holding up great no rattles or squeaks
it's going to dealers next week for BMS update I'll get them to have a look

Mines a RWD which is shockingly bad it's feels like a car with significantly more miles than its done just seems the car like it's running with 50 psi in the tyres all the time
It drives and feels like a totally different car 20k ago I'm so disappointed in the setup. It thuds and wobbles over any uneven roads
I even replaced the 4 worn conti silent continentals 255/45/20 with brand new ones made no difference whats so ever in fact I feel its getting worse
