Front Lower Control Arm Spherical Bushing Set for Tesla Model 3

This complete bushing replacement for the standard front lower control arm on all Model 3 greatly reduces all of the (well-known) issues caused by the inevitable wear in the standard soft rubber bushing. The result is improved traction, steering feel, and durability without increase in noise. A great upgrade, especially for any higher mileage cars to freshen your Model 3 right back to better than new!

Years: 2017-2023

Why fit?

Smooth, solid, responsive, and predictable handling is something that every keen Tesla driver wants from their suspension.

The wear that Teslas experience in their suspension bushes as the mileage increases is well-documented. Little wonder, with the weight, power and grip that these cars can generate, these rubber bushes soften, weaken and eventually tear apart. It’s inevitable.

This complete bushing replacement for the standard front lower control arm (arguably the most important suspension bush on the whole car) greatly reduces all of the issues related to the standard rubber bushing including clunks and knocks, a vague feeling under acceleration and braking, toe deflection, and loose-feeling steering. The result of fitting these upgraded bushes? Improved traction, precision, steering feel, and durability without increase in noise.

We created these at the Nürburgring and prior to release we put them to the test more than a full year with over 15,000km of track use our Nürburgring Model 3 development car.

Additional Info

The improvement in the stability of the car’s wheel after installing the Unplugged Performance Front Lower Control Arm (Compression Link) Bushing Set is dramatic not only behind the wheel but even to the naked eye.

That applies to a low-mileage original bushing to the upgraded Unplugged Performance part, but the difference would be even more dramatic on a heavily worn or torn original bushing on a high-mileage car.

The oscillations caused by the soft standard bushings are eliminated – resulting in a smoother ride, more grip, more confident and effective braking, and more dynamic predictability when cornering. That all adds up to safer and faster suspension control on the road (and even on track).

FAQ

Got questions? Maybe these answers can help!

Why modify my Tesla?

There’s no single answer to that! Much of the world of car modification revolves around the reality that a mass-produced car, built to a competitive price, has to be a compromise in some way to all of us.

Whether you are looking for daily-driving comfort, upgraded replacement parts for a high-mileage car or looking to join the increasing number of Tesla owners enjoying the immense capabilities of their car on track days, autocross, hillclimbs and sprints, our range has something for every Tesla owner.

Many people start off by simply needing to replace failing parts on their Tesla (very typically worn out suspension arms/bushes), but can see the error in choosing factory replacement arms that are certain to fail again in future. Or worse, the false economy of choosing cheap Far-Eastern copy parts that are of unknown quantity when it comes to durability and indeed safety. But with the longevity that a Tesla drivetrain offers us, it makes more sense than ever to invest in quality replacement parts on the chassis side and take a longer-term view of ownership as the mileage increases.

Others aren’t looking for improved performance. Rather, it's our Luxury suspension offerings, or the growth in ‘overland’ upgrades that are fully capable of heading off the beaten track that are of interest. For these customers, it’s the certain knowledge that their car can be better for their needs than mass-production can ever allow.

So many of our customers simply love the performance of their Tesla – often the fastest car they’ve ever owned. But for those that have come from a performance ICE car, they can feel that the Tesla’s chassis and braking capabilities still have some room for improvement to match the straight-line go.

Whatever your reasons and motivations, jump in to the world of modifying your Tesla without any concerns, and let us help you tailor the perfect Tesla for you.

Do you install parts?

No, we don't provide a fitting service. All Unplugged Performance parts are designed and manufactured in a way that any competent professional can install our parts on your Tesla - just the same as on any ICE car.

Have you checked our Fitting Guides? They are a very helpful resource for anyone carrying out this fitting service.

Of course, if you have any more questions about fitting, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, we do. Although we are predominantly UK-based, we serve customers all over Europe and sometimes beyond.

Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. If your country doesn't have shipping calculated, please Contact Us and we'll get a competitive quote for you.

Please note: local taxes and duties may apply when you import products into your country which will be your responsibility.

A product is showing as 'None available from UK stock'. What does this mean?

We do our best to hold as much inventory here in the UK as possible. But of course, sometimes products go out of stock.

Or in the case of certain specialist parts or our wheel range, where there are multiple sizes, colours and configurations these are often manufactured to order in the USA.

So, orders that show as 'None available from UK stock' will be sourced from our team at Unplugged Performance in California. You may go ahead and place your order and we will get it ordered from USA and update you with expected delivery date.

Although you may prefer to Contact Us first, and we can give a best estimate on likely delivery time.

How long will it take to get my orders?

It depends on where you are. Orders for the UK will be processed immediately and typically take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

However, if a product shows as being unavailable from UK stock, we will need to source from the Unplugged Performance USA team in California. In this case we will let you know the expected delivery times as soon as possible.

Of course, if you'd like to Contact Us first, we can always confirm timing estimates before you place your order.

How can I find Fitting Instructions?

We have fitting guides for many of our most popular products.

Please check out Fitting Guides for our list of useful installation resources.

What about warranty?

We are entirely confident in our products, and offer a 12-month warranty against defects or design faults within fair use.

If your Tesla is still under manufacturers warranty, please be aware that fitting aftermarket parts may affect the Tesla terms and conditions - although only for those mechanical elements relating to the fitment of our products.
