Addressing Water Ingress in Tesla Model X: A Guide to Upper and Lower Control Arm Kit Replacement

The Tesla Model X, renowned for its cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance, is not impervious to wear and tear. Owners of the pre facelift and facelift versions have reported an issue with water ingress to the front upper control arm ball joints. Over time, this can lead to surface corrosion, which manifests as a creaking sound during low-speed steering or under high loads. Although this is purely a noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) condition, it does not lead to premature failure of the ball joints.

To address this concern, replacing the control arms with a high-quality control arm kit is essential. The CTEURO Control Arm Kit for Model X offers a comprehensive solution. Designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this control arm kit ensures durability and long-lasting performance. It's an excellent choice for Model X replacement parts, especially for those looking to maintain the original ride quality and handling characteristics of their vehicle. By opting for aftermarket parts, you not only solve the NVH issue but also enhance the longevity of your suspension system.

Ensuring your Tesla remains in optimal condition requires regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn components. By addressing water ingress and its effects on the suspension arms, Model X owners can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Choosing a quality control arm kit for your Tesla replacement ensures continued performance and reliability. Opt for aftermarket parts that offer durability and superior performance, helping your Tesla Model X maintain its exceptional driving experience.
