Product Overview
The upper arms locate the front wheel carriers and allow controlled movement through their ball joints and bushings.
Worn bushings or looseness at a front ball joint can produce squeaks, knocks and uneven alignment. Tesla made suspension revisions, so the original arm design must match.
Confirm the original left/right upper arm numbers, mounting-point design and build date. A vehicle alignment and proper suspension-height torque procedures may be needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an OEM part?
No. Unless the product listing explicitly states otherwise, this is an aftermarket replacement. The manufacturer names and OE references identify applicable equipment, not the maker of this item.
How do I check fitment?
Confirm the original left/right upper arm numbers, mounting-point design and build date. A vehicle alignment and proper suspension-height torque procedures may be needed.
What if my model year appears above but the part looks different?
Do not install it based on the model year alone. Factory equipment changes by engine, build date, trim, mounting style, and option package. Match the original part number and physical connections first.
