Lower Lateral Link – Front

Front Lower Lateral Link
(PN: 1044341-00-D)

Model 3 Only โ€ข Front Suspension โ€ข Lower Lateral Link โ€” Front โ€ข OEM 1044341-00-D

Replacement Tesla Model 3 front lower lateral link, sometimes referred to as the front lower lateral control arm or front camber link. This armย  connects the steering knuckle to the front subframe and controls lateral wheel position and camber while its inner bushing and outer ball joint allow the suspension to move smoothly. Built as a direct replacement for arms referencing Tesla part number 1044341-00-D on Model 3 (M3 only, approx. 2017โ€“2023, most trims).

Why this part needs replacement
  • Bent arm from curb or pothole โ€” Impacts to the wheel can bend the lower lateral link, pulling camber out of spec and causing the car to pull or feel โ€œoffโ€ even after alignment attempts.
  • Loose or worn ball joint โ€” Play in the outer ball joint can cause front-end clunks, knocking over bumps, and vague steering feedback.
  • Cracked or deteriorated inner bushing โ€” A fatigued inner bushing allows excess lateral movement, contributing to instability and noise under cornering and braking.
  • Uneven tire wear & alignment issues โ€” A damaged or bent lateral link makes it difficult to maintain proper camber/toe, accelerating inner or outer edge tire wear.
  • Post-accident or suspension repair โ€” After front suspension damage, the lower lateral link is often replaced along with other control arms to restore correct geometry.

What this assembly does for your Model 3
  • Maintains correct camber & track width โ€” Holds the front wheel in the proper lateral position so the tire contacts the road as designed.
  • Improves steering precision โ€” Reduces unwanted lateral compliance that can make the steering feel โ€œfloatyโ€ or delayed when turning in.
  • Reduces noise, vibration & harshness โ€” Fresh bushing and ball joint help quiet creaks, clunks, and pops originating from the lower front suspension.
  • Supports accurate alignment โ€” A straight, tight lateral link helps your alignment shop dial in factory camber and toe specs for optimal handling and tire life.
  • Direct bolt-in replacement โ€” Designed to fit the OEM mounting points and geometry for vehicles equipped with Tesla PN 1044341-00-D.

Maintenance tip

When replacing a front lower lateral link, schedule a full four-wheel alignment afterward to reset camber and toe. Torque all suspension fasteners at normal ride height to avoid pre-loading the bushings, and inspect related arms (front lower compliance link, upper control arm, and tie rods) for play or damage at the same time. Recheck
lug nut torque and listen for any remaining suspension noises after a short test drive.
