13 Feb Tesla Control Arm Problems: What You Need to Know
If you own a Tesla, chances are you love it—until something starts clunking, creaking, or making you question if your futuristic ride is falling apart. One of the most common repairs we see at D’Avico’s Auto Repair is Tesla control arm failure. And let’s be real—if Elon Musk can build rockets that land themselves, you’d think Tesla could make a control arm that doesn’t sound like a haunted house door.
Why Are Tesla Control Arms Failing?
Control arms connect your car’s wheels to the frame, allowing for smooth steering and suspension movement. But in many of their models—especially the Model S, Model X, and even some Model 3s—and they tend to wear out faster than Elon’s Twitter takeover.
The most common signs of a failing control arm include:
-
- Clunking or popping noises when turning or going over bumps
- A creaky, groaning sound (like an old wooden ship)
- Loose or wandering steering—not ideal in a car that practically drives itself
- Uneven tire wear (because your alignment is out of whack)
If you’re experiencing any of these, your control arms might be on their way out.
