Control Arm Replacement with Aftermarket Suspension

[Jose Pena]

Hello everyone,

My 2020 M3 recently began squeaking around the front passenger side. It seems to be the common control arm issue. I made a service request with Tesla and since I have an after market air suspension, the cost will be out of pocket. They are willing to replace the arms regardless.

Does anyone have any experience with a similar scenario? My concern is that when they replace the control arm, they might mess with my suspension. I have to sign a form that basically states if they mess it up, its my problem.

I’ve injected grease into the ball joint in hopes the problem will remedy itself before my appointment but only time will tell.

I had a similar experience recently and they refused to even touch the tesla component due to the modifications, so that's nice that they are willing to help you out.

Still on the fence. Would love advice.

Replace with aftermarket at this point.
