Tesla Model S Ball Joint & Control Arm Repair

Has your Tesla Model S lost its precise handling? Are you hearing a loud creaking or popping noise when turning into a parking spot or going over speed bumps? These are the classic symptoms of worn ball joints in the complex Model S front suspension system.

Low-Speed Creaking

A loud groaning or creaking sound when turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly, often caused by a dry lower ball joint.

Suspension Popping

A distinct “pop” or “click” felt through the floorpan when going over driveway curbs or speed bumps, indicating excessive play in the control arm bushings.

Steering Wander

If your Model S feels “loose” at highway speeds or requires constant small corrections to stay in its lane, your suspension geometry is likely compromised.

Specialized Care for the Model S Chassis

The Tesla Model S features a double-wishbone front suspension that offers incredible handling, but its multiple ball joints are prone to boot failure. Once the rubber seal is compromised by road debris and salt, the precision joint begins to wear rapidly.

At Radman Auto Repair, we understand the specific nuances of the Model S suspension. We focus on the high-stress fore-links and aft-links that support the car’s 4,600+ lb weight. Every repair includes a comprehensive inspection of your air suspension components and a precision 4-wheel alignment to protect your performance tires.
