Restore proper rear suspension geometry, handling, and wheel control with the MEYLE Rear Lower Fore Link, designed for applicable Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
Also known as a rear lower forward control arm, lower fore link, or semi-trailing arm, this component is located in the lower-forward position of the rear multi-link suspension. It works with the other rear suspension links to help control the position of the rear wheel and maintain proper suspension geometry.
The MEYLE 70-16 035 0003 is designed as a replacement for several Tesla OE suspension arm revisions, including 1044441-00-F. MEYLE identifies the component as a steel-pipe semi-trailing arm for the rear axle, lower position, with applications for both the left and right sides.
A worn, damaged, or bent rear lower fore link can contribute to rear-end instability, suspension noise, alignment changes, and irregular tire wear. Replacing a damaged suspension arm can help restore the vehicle’s intended rear suspension geometry and handling characteristics.

For newer-production vehicles or vehicles with suspension revisions, VIN-based fitment verification is recommended.
The rear lower fore link is an important component of Tesla’s multi-link rear suspension.
Located in the lower-forward position, it helps locate the rear wheel assembly and works with the other suspension links to control wheel movement and maintain the correct suspension geometry.
The component is involved in maintaining the wheel’s position relative to the vehicle during:
Properly functioning suspension links help maintain predictable handling and consistent tire contact with the road.
A worn bushing, damaged arm, or bent suspension link can affect rear suspension geometry.
Potential symptoms include:
If the vehicle has experienced a significant pothole, curb impact, or collision, inspect the rear suspension links for bending or damage.
Tesla’s rear suspension contains several control arms and links, so it is important to identify the correct component before ordering.

These components are not interchangeable. Always verify the OE number and suspension position before ordering.
The MEYLE 70-16 035 0003 is listed for both the left and right rear sides.
The same component is used on either side for applicable vehicles.
Replacing one side:
Order 1 MEYLE 70-16 035 0003
Replacing both sides:
Order 2 MEYLE 70-16 035 0003
MEYLE lists a required quantity of 2 and recommends replacement in pairs.
This product is sold individually.
One MEYLE 70-16 035 0003 rear lower fore link is supplied per unit.
Although the part is sold individually, MEYLE recommends replacing the suspension arms in pairs.
This means customers replacing both rear lower fore links should order two units.
The MEYLE 70-16 035 0003 uses a steel-pipe construction and is cataloged as a semi-trailing arm.
The design provides the structural connection between the rear suspension and vehicle chassis while allowing the suspension to move through its operating range.
Professional installation is recommended.
Because this component is part of the rear suspension geometry, proper installation and torque procedures are important.
After replacing a rear suspension control arm, a four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended to verify rear camber and toe settings.
Follow the applicable Tesla service procedures and torque specifications for the specific vehicle.
Suspension fasteners may have specific tightening procedures, so the appropriate Tesla service information should be followed during installation.
MEYLE specifically lists a required quantity of two and recommends replacement in pairs.
Replacing both sides at the same time can provide:
Both sides receive matching suspension components.
Both sides receive new components rather than mixing a new arm with an older, worn component.
If both sides have similar mileage and wear, replacing them together can help avoid returning to the same repair later.
Replacing both sides provides a more comprehensive repair when both original components show signs of wear.
Easily identify the correct replacement using the Tesla OE number from your original suspension arm.
