Dorman 527-513 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Left Upper
Dorman 527-513 Front Left Upper Control Arm
Dorman 527-513 is an OE FIX upper front suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for select Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y vehicles. It replaces the factory front left upper control arm with an upgraded steel design that addresses known cracking, corrosion, and ball joint wear concerns.
Key Features
- Fits 2017-2023 Tesla Model 3, front left upper
- Fits 2020-2023 Tesla Model Y, front left upper
- Stamped steel control arm construction for added strength
- Electrostatically coated finish to help resist corrosion
- Pre-greased ball joint with no grease fitting
- Ball joint, bushings, and mounting hardware included
- Direct-fit replacement engineered to match factory dimensions
- Part number: 527-513
Detailed Description
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is built for Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y front left upper applications where the original arm can crack or separate from the steering knuckle. The upgraded boxed steel arm replaces the factory plastic-style design with a stronger metal construction, while the open design eliminates the plastic cap that can trap moisture around the joint. The result is a more durable OE-style repair for drivers looking to restore front suspension integrity on a Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y. Part number 527-513 is precision engineered for factory fit and serviceability.
This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623788 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Front-end creaking from moisture trapped around the ball joint
- Cracking in the upper left control arm
- Separation between the control arm and steering knuckle
- Ball joint wear caused by corrosion and contamination
- Loose or noisy front suspension operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Install on the front left upper position only. Verify Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y year and suspension configuration before ordering. Because this assembly includes a machined ball joint with a pinch-style stud, follow factory service procedures for removal and torque specifications during installation. Inspect the steering knuckle, adjacent bushings, and mounting points for wear before completing the repair.
Quality Assurance
Dorman designs this OE FIX assembly to address known factory failure points with a stronger steel arm, corrosion-resistant coating, and a direct-fit layout. Part number 527-513 is manufactured to match factory dimensions while improving durability for long-term service on Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y front suspension repairs.
