We have just under 90k miles on our 2016 S90D with coil suspension. We just had both lower control arms replaced due to noise indicating that they were worn out by a local independent shop & now the upper control arm on the left side is making noise. The independent shop costs basically the same as paying the Tesla Service Center to do the work, but the independent shop has far better customer service than Tesla. The owner of the shop is also a local Tesla owner & because of that he has added Teslas to the makes that his shops specialize in. They also offer a 3 year warranty on all their work, compared to the 12 months that Tesla offers. The part #s for the upper control arms that Tesla lists on their estimate are 1043965-00-B, while the independent shop has part # 1043965-00-A. What's the difference between the two?
