How much does it cost?

It depends on your car and what is worn, so we quote your exact car before any work starts. A front control arm kit is quoted as one job, parts and labor together, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Only one arm is bad. Do I have to replace them all?

No, and we are more than happy to install only what your car needs. We recommend the full front kit because the other arms are the same age and mileage and usually are not far behind. Doing them together is usually more affordable than guessing one at a time and possibly not fixing the noise the first time.

What parts do you use?

Genuine Tesla parts or replacements built to the same standard, with upgraded, longer-lasting options if you want them. We keep front arms for the Model 3, Y, S and X in stock, and sway bar end links and tie rods are usually on hand too. We'll recommend what fits how you drive, and your quote lists exactly what you're getting and how it's covered.

Do I need an alignment afterward?

Yes, and it is quick. New arms change the geometry slightly, so every control arm job is followed by an alignment. A proper alignment is done on a laser alignment rack, so it is the one step we hand off. We recommend your local tire or alignment shop soon after the visit.

I already have a quote from Tesla or another shop.

Send it over with your quote request. We will quote the same repair so you can compare it side by side.

Is it safe to drive with the noise?

A light rattle is usually low urgency. A heavy clunk, a knock that is getting worse, or a car sitting low on one corner should be looked at soon. Worn ball joints only get worse. If you are not sure, tell us what you hear and we will help you judge it.
