Tesla Model 3 & Y Mountain Pass Performance Front Arm Bearings

Mountain Pass Performance Front Control Arm Bearings / Bushings For The Tesla Model 3 & Model Y. Improve Front End Handling Response & Feel. Direct Replacement

Looking to eliminate vague front-end steering feel and improve handling precision on your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y? The Mountain Pass Performance Front Lower Control Arm Bearings are the ideal upgrade. These high-performance bearings replace the soft factory rubber bushings with motorsport-grade spherical bearings for dramatically sharper response, greater stability, and long-term durability.

From the factory, Tesla uses compliant rubber bushings to help absorb road noise and vibration. While this makes for a smoother ride, it also introduces flex in the suspension — especially under load or hard cornering. MPP’s solution is a precision-engineered replacement that maintains your geometry alignment consistently and reduces unwanted deflection in the suspension system.

A further reason for upgrading these is that after time these bushings can wear out and further cause issues the older / worse they become.

We recommend this upgrade for anyone tracking their car, running stiffer coilovers, or simply seeking a more connected, confidence-inspiring drive. Installed alongside MPP camber arms or the KW V3 Leveling Coilover Kit, these bearings help unlock the full potential of your Tesla’s chassis.

We’ve seen first-hand how much of a difference these make on our customer vehicles — whether on a twisty B-road or out on circuit. These bearings are also fully sealed, making them suitable for daily-driven cars in all weather conditions.

In the pictures you will see the before imagery of the original Tesla components and then the new Mountain Pass Performance parts installed in it’s place.

If you’re looking to install these yourself you will require a press tool to remove the original bushings out of the control arm and install the new MPP version. An optional extra item can be purchased that is the correct size for removal installation (This will work with most common press tools). In you are unsure, we recommend purchasing this as it is made for this exact part.
