What It Helps Repair

• Front-end clunking or looseness from worn suspension joints
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension play
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Noisy or degraded ride quality from fatigued bushings
• Suspension geometry issues after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front lower forward position only for the listed Tesla Model 3 applications. Verify mounting hole diameter, ball joint stud type, and suspension orientation before installation. Because the assembly is pre-greased and includes a grease fitting, service technicians can inspect lubrication access during routine maintenance. After installation, perform a wheel alignment to confirm proper suspension geometry and steering response.
