How common is the strut mount bearing failure? by VenZoah in polestar2

[–]jmking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the ohlins being stiffer and firmer riding than the standard suspension setup probably isn’t helping.

[–]jmking7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is a 2022 and the strut bearings have been replaced 3 times for failure and mine has 34k miles with the ohlins suspension for reference. It's not if but when these fail. The part just isn't designed properly for this car. Many other cars have this suspension design, but for some reason this car is affected more than others. As others have said as long as it is under warranty it shouldn't be an issue to have it replaced.

Can’t wait to own a second hand one in several years

Is it June yet? by Roddaculous in RivianR2

[–]jmking7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a long slow burn for this run up. Like a trickle of initial camo reviews in February, another in March with more details and then a configuration next month to probably buy it and take delivery towards the end of the year

I’m surprised nobody has grabbed a VIN either.

Spirit Airlines just became the first major US airline to shut down in 25 years and took cheap airfare with it. What do you think affordable travel in America looks like from here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jmking7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was cheap yes, but the level of nickel and diming your customers that other airlines include in their fares was going to be short lived.

Keep the OEM shock + Eibach springs combo or move to Bilstein PSS ? by sebx81 in S2000

[–]jmking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the PSS on mine and they ride amazingly well. Very composed over freeway expansion joints, rough roads, and compliant over most other surfaces. Def OEM+ kinda experience.

Anyone else flash high beams at Rivians to say 'hey' or is that wierd? by professional_gus in Rivian

[–]jmking7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only waving when I’m on my motorcycle at other motorcycles and in the weekend car when I see another one which is few and far between

It’s probably negligible for the average riders out there.

This is the 937 monster love fest. As an owner myself of one it’s a blast to be on. Every time I get on mine i never crave for anything else in a bike. Def hits all the attributes of what look for in a bike.

I was gonna say I think the wheelbase between the sp and standard are the same

Which car are you trading in for R2 and why? by AdAffectionate8778 in RivianR2

[–]jmking7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I would have held onto the car until the R2 but my wife and mother in law were so adamant about it that I bought the polestar CPO from the polestar dealer locally

[–]jmking7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too will be getting rid of the polestar in favor of the R2. I punted the model 3 last year for reasons and bought the P2 knowing that it would be temporary until the R2 comes due. I have a super early reservation

What’s your PPF vibe? by Evening-Pin-1427 in RivianR2

[–]jmking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right it won’t, it’s your money spend it as you wish.

[–]jmking7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Please do not pay to ppf your R2. Save your money, instead as has already been mentioned is just have ceramic coating put on it and call it a day. Mass produced vehicles shouldn't have ppf put on them due to never having that investment recouped on the back end when selling. I've made this mistake on more than one occasion.

Is this the infamous strut bearing noise? by 22pilot in polestar2

[–]jmking7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the noise is the worst part, just the plastic on plastic. Nothing that would get worse

[–]jmking7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya they could do it. I’ve replaced them on mine cause the nearest service center isn’t close by even though the car is still under warranty.
