The upgraded boxed steel arm replaces the factory plastic-style design with a stronger metal construction, while the open design eliminates the plastic cap that can trap moisture around the joint. The result is a more durable OE-style repair for drivers looking to restore front suspension integrity on a Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y. Part number 527-513 is precision engineered for factory fit and serviceability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623788 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-end creaking from moisture trapped around the ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracking in the upper left control arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparation between the control arm and steering knuckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall joint wear caused by corrosion and contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or noisy front suspension operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall on the front left upper position only.
