Replacement Tesla Model 3 / Model Y rear lower fore link assembly (tubular lateral arm).
This arm sits in the lower-forward position of the rear multi-link suspension and helps locate the rear wheel laterally while working with the other rear links to control camber and toe. Bent arms or worn bushings can cause rear-end instability, clunks, and irregular tire wear. This tubular lateral arm is a direct-fit replacement for Tesla part number 1044441-00-F on most Model 3 and Model Y variants.

Built using Delphi OE safety technology, this suspension arm is engineered and tested to OE-level standards:
Validated from below โˆ’40 ยฐC to over 120 ยฐC, exposed to up to 720 hours of salt spray, and subjected to extensive dimensional and material analysis to ensure excellent compatibility with the original Tesla part. Delphi arms undergo 100% crack detection and ultrasonic flaw detection and are built for consistent performance and quality.

  • Anti-corrosion protection โ€” Coated tubular steel construction for optimum corrosion resistance and clean, black matte aesthetics.
  • 100% crack & flaw detection โ€” Ultrasonic flaw detection and crack inspection ensure materials meet OE specifications.
  • Consistent OE-style performance โ€” Designed to deliver the same geometry and bushing compliance as the original Tesla lateral arm.
  • Complete with bushings โ€” Supplied with pre-installed rubber bushings so the arm is ready to bolt in with no additional pressing.

Why this part needs replacement
  • Rear-end clunks or knocks โ€” Worn bushings or elongated mounting holes in the lower fore link can create metallic clunks over bumps or during acceleration/braking transitions.
  • Uneven rear tire wear โ€” Excess bushing play can allow camber/toe to drift, leading to inside or outside edge wear on rear tires.
  • Rear axle wander or instability โ€” Degraded bushings can make the car feel unsettled or โ€œwanderyโ€ at highway speeds or when changing lanes.
  • Impact or corrosion damage โ€” Curb strikes, potholes, or corrosion can bend or weaken the tubular arm, requiring replacement to restore proper alignment.
  • Suspension rebuild / alignment correction โ€” When addressing persistent alignment issues or refreshing the rear suspension, replacing worn lower fore links is often recommended.

What this assembly does for your Model 3 / Model Y
  • Controls rear wheel position โ€” Helps maintain proper lateral and fore-aft positioning of the rear wheel under load.
  • Supports rear alignment geometry โ€” Works with the upper links and toe arms to keep rear camber and toe within spec, improving grip and tire life.
  • Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) โ€” Fresh rubber bushings absorb vibration and reduce suspension noise transmitted into the cabin.
  • Restores factory handling feel โ€” Replacing a worn or bent arm returns the rear suspension to its intended kinematics and response.
  • Direct bolt-in replacement โ€” Designed to match OEM lengths, bushing dimensions, and mounting points for vehicles using Tesla PN 1044441-00-F.

Compatibility notes Tesla has used multiple rear suspension arm revisions on Model 3 / Model Y. Always match the part number stamped on your original rear lower fore link (1044441-00-F) and verify by VIN/build date.
Rear suspension arms (fore vs. aft, upper vs. lower) are not interchangeable. Contact us if you need help confirming compatibility before ordering.

Maintenance tip

Any time a rear suspension arm is replaced, a four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended to restore proper camber and toe settings and protect your rear tires from premature wear. After installation, road test over a variety of surfaces and speeds, checking for noise and confirming that the vehicle tracks straight. Inspect adjacent links, bushings, and shocks at the same time so you can address other worn components while the area is accessible.

Need help confirming compatibility?

Not sure if your Model 3 or Model Y uses this exact rear lower fore link? Check the part number stamped on the original arm or provide your VIN, model year, and build date. We can help confirm that this 1044441-00-F assembly is the correct match for your vehicle before you order.
