This is how was our problem with pulling side to side resolved. TOE ARM REAR was loose on bushing and adjustable bolt which was about $10.00 each was replaced.Aligment also was not done correctly.that was reason why tesla s was dancing at high speed.
Problem removing toe arm bolt is that bolt was inserted from side where is big battery ,so dealership wants to charge almost $2,000.00 to remove those bolts because they want to lover big battery to get access to toe arm bolts.

Thanks to oscillating tool we just cut bolt and insert from oposite side and from battery side we put locking nut.
Carbide blade DIABLO was used to cut bolt in about 10 min. each side.

After that was done aligment at regular garage much cheaper than at dealership.
This was great experience and it was for educational purposes only.

Bottom bolt was reused because no issues taking that one out.
Only top bolts were cut.
This is great way to save a lot of money.we spent about $20 for 2 upper adjustable bolts (eccentric bolts) and about $100 for aligment. NOW car is like new no pulling at any speed.
