The upper control arm is a key component of the Tesla’s front suspension.
It connects the suspension assembly to the vehicle body and helps control the movement and positioning of the wheel as the suspension moves.
The control arm works together with the other suspension components to maintain proper:
The integrated ball joint allows the suspension to move through its range of motion while maintaining the connection between the control arm and steering knuckle.
A worn upper control arm or ball joint can affect suspension performance and handling.
Potential symptoms include:
A worn control arm can also allow the wheel to move outside its intended suspension geometry.
If a suspension problem is suspected, the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified technician.

Replacing the left side only:
1 MEYLE 70-16 050 0003 (1043965-00-B)
Replacing both front upper control arms:
Professional installation is recommended.
Because the upper control arm is part of the front suspension and directly affects wheel geometry, proper installation and torque procedures are important.
During installation:
A wheel alignment is recommended after replacing a front suspension control arm.
Replacing the control arm can affect suspension geometry, so alignment should be checked after installation to ensure the vehicle is within specification.
MEYLE recommends replacing the control arms in pairs.
If one upper control arm has developed significant wear, the opposite side has generally experienced the same mileage and operating conditions.
Replacing both sides can provide:
Both sides receive matching MEYLE components.
Matching components can help maintain balanced suspension behavior.
Replacing both sides at the same time may help avoid another control-arm repair shortly afterward.
Tesla Model S uses multiple front suspension arms, so correct identification is important.
