Control arm Tesla or MEYLE
I used Meyle control arms on my B5 A4 and had no issues after replacement.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I have meyle hd’s with solid treehouse fcab’s for about 2 years ~20,000 miles on my m3 and have had no issues. Rides very smooth
Pros: no issues, very smooth ride
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 32187 km
I’ve had meyle hd front control arms for a few years now and they’ve been fine but my e36 is just a summer daily so I don’t push it very hard.
Pros: fine for years
Cons: not pushed hard
Vehicle:
BMW
Meyle HD lower control arms are better and longer lasting than OEM. They won't crack arms like the poly bushes.
Pros: better, longer lasting
Vehicle:
Land Rover
But you have to make a differential between Meyle standard and Meyle HD, it's night and day difference in quality, all HD parts have a 4 year guarantee, I think the regular have 1 year. I have a few years of experience when it comes to quality of control arms
Pros: HD parts have guarantee
Cons: standard quality is low
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
My CAs were replaced at around 50k km by my best guess (close to before I got my car). They are Meyle HDs, and no issues here (not that there should be any at this mileage).
Pros: no issues, good reliability
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 50000 km
I just had an issue with creaking control arms. Tesla warrantied the labor and changed $250 for the parts.
Pros: warrantied the labor
Cons: creaking control arms
Mileage: 60000 km
I have a July 2018 Model 3 with 95,000 miles. Had one upper control arm replaced under warranty at 36,000 miles. I had to pay $400 to replace the other one at 53,200 miles.
Pros: few other repair costs
Cons: had to pay $400
Mileage: 152887 km
I have 51,900 miles on my car and it just started to squeak like a 1970's car when I turn the wheel- REALLY LOUD. So I've read all the articles and I know this is a known issue for control arms...
Pros: known issue, control arms
Cons: squeak like 1970s car
Mileage: 83525 km
I have a Model3 RWD, the heavy batteries cause the arms to crack, just by weight alone with road conditions in southern Cali. Both of my arms on both sides were denied by one service center. However, a month later, I took it to a different service center and they processed all of it under warranty.
Cons: arms crack, design flaw
