Product Details
This Whiteline Front Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2017-2026 Tesla Model 3. In the box: 4 bushings, 4 tubes, grease, and an install guide. The part number is W56417. Position: front.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Model 3: Front and Rear Sway Bar Vehicle Kit, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Front Sway Bar Link Kit.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
