Dorman 527-513 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Upper Left
Skip to product information
Suspension Control Arm And Ball Joint Assembly
On certain Tesla Model 3 and Y vehicles, the front upper left control arm can crack and separate from the steering knuckle, often without warning and under normal driving conditions. This can cause a sudden and unexpected loss of steering control. The original equipment design also uses a plastic cap over the ball joint that tends to trap moisture accumulation. That can cause an increasingly frequent creaking sound in the vehicle's front end and ultimately cause the joint to fail. This Dorman OE FIX upper front suspension control arm and ball joint assembly addresses these costly and dangerous potential failure points so vehicle owners can opt for a more permanent repair than offered by the factory design. Unlike the Tesla plastic arm assembly, our upgraded arm design prevents stress cracks and knuckle separation by utilizing a much stronger stamped steel arm. To help prevent damaging corrosion and moisture intrusion, this design eliminates the plastic cap to allow water to evaporate, and the arm is electrostatically coated. Precision engineered and manufactured to help provide many miles of reliable service, this improved control arm assembly is designed to exactly match the fit of the factory assembly, but far exceed its performance and durability.

Your prices are so good, is it new?
Yes. This item is new and in its original Dorman packaging unless the description above says otherwise.
OEM or aftermarket?
An OEM part is made by, or for, the company that built the vehicle and carries their branding. An aftermarket part is made by another manufacturer to fit the same application, usually for less. Quality runs from below OEM to above it depending on the brand, so the name on the box matters more than the label.
