What Owners Say
"I had to have both the upper and lower control arms replaced at a cost of $2,100. The were making grinding noises."
Anonymous, (2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Electric)""Bushings were torn and loose after just 50,000 miles. Replacement of the lower control arm and compliance link were required as they're not repairable parts. This failure seems premature compared to other vehicles, likely due to the vehicle's 2-ton weight vs softness for ride quality. Replaced both with aftermarket parts.""
