Replacement Tesla Model 3 / Model Y rear upper fore link assembly (stamped steel control arm).
This arm sits in the upper-forward position of the rear multi-link suspension and helps locate the rear wheel laterally while working with the aft link to control camber and toe. Bent arms or worn bushings can cause rear-end instability, clunks, and irregular tire wear. This stamped arm is a direct-fit replacement for Tesla part number 1044427-00-C and is supplied under Gruber PN 34-TS3-RUPRFRLK.

Built by Suspensia, this control arm uses High Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel for maximum safety and durability. Each arm is developed and verified as an exact fit for its application, manufactured using advanced robotic welding and assembly to meet or exceed OEM performance. A corrosion-resistant finish helps the arm stand up to harsh weather and road conditions, and thorough testing is backed by Suspensiaโ€™s non-transferable warranty.

  • Corrosion-resistant finish โ€” Helps protect the stamped steel arm from rust in real-world road and weather conditions.
  • HSLA steel construction โ€” High Strength Low-Alloy material for excellent structural integrity and impact resistance.
  • Exact-fit geometry โ€” Thorough development and verification for precise fitment on Tesla Model 3 / Model Y rear suspension.
  • Includes mounting hardware โ€” Supplied with the necessary hardware to simplify installation and ensure all key components are renewed.
  • Robotic welding & assembly โ€” Advanced manufacturing processes help deliver consistent strength and durability, matching or exceeding OE performance.

Why this part needs replacement
  • Rear-end clunks or pops โ€” Worn bushings or elongated mounting holes in the fore link can cause metallic clunks over bumps or during acceleration/braking transitions.
  • Uneven rear tire wear โ€” Excess play in the upper fore link can allow camber/toe to drift, leading to inside or outside edge wear on rear tires.
  • Rear axle wander โ€” Degraded bushings can make the car feel unsettled or โ€œwanderyโ€ at highway speeds or when changing lanes.
  • Impact or collision damage โ€” Curb strikes, potholes, or underbody impacts can bend or deform the stamped control arm, requiring replacement.
  • Suspension rebuild or alignment issues โ€” When diagnosing persistent alignment problems or performing a rear suspension refresh, replacing worn upper fore links is often part of the solution.

What this assembly does for your Model 3 / Model Y
  • Locates the rear wheel โ€” Helps maintain proper lateral and fore-aft positioning of the rear wheel under dynamic load.
  • Supports alignment geometry โ€” Works with the aft link and other arms to keep rear camber and toe within spec, improving grip and tire life.
  • Reduces NVH โ€” Fresh rubber bushings help isolate road harshness and vibration from the cabin.
  • Restores precise handling โ€” Replacing a worn or bent arm returns the rear suspension to its intended kinematics and response.
  • Direct bolt-in โ€” Designed to match OEM lengths, bushing bores, and mounting points for vehicles using Tesla PN 1044427-00-C.

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 upper fore link (1044427-00-C) and verify fitment by VIN and 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

Whenever a rear suspension control arm is replaced, a four-wheel alignment is highly recommended to restore proper camber and toe and protect your rear tires from premature wear. After installation, road test over various speeds and surfaces to confirm the vehicle tracks straight and that any previous rear-end noise or instability has been resolved. Inspect the matching rear upper aft link, lower arms, and bushings at the same time to address other potential wear items.

Need help confirming compatibility?

Not sure if your Model 3 or Model Y uses this exact rear upper fore link? Check the part number on the original arm or provide your VIN, model year, and build date. We can help confirm that this 1044427-00-C / 34-TS3-RUPRFRLK assembly is the correct match for your vehicle before you order.
