A MEYLE HD control arm for Tesla models 3 and Y has solved a problem that has been causing much frustration in the global Tesla community, with drivers reporting squeaking and rattling coming from the premium manufacturer’s models.

 
MEYLE engineers identified the Tesla control arm as the source of this nuisance. They analysed it and put it through an extensive multistage re-engineering process.  As a result, they developed a completely new technical solution. The new MEYLE HD control arm is made of high-strength forged aluminium, with the ball joint redesigned, the ball stud diameter larger, and completely redeveloped bushings. 
 
As a result, the optimised and reinforced MEYLE HD control arm is specially designed to handle the high stresses of the heavy and powerful Tesla vehicles. It lasts much longer, provides extended driving safety and comes with a four-year guarantee.

Control arm kit incl. mounting material, MEYLE no. 70-16 050 0039/HD
