good video - just two points: (1) you took the original replacement part from Tesla which will have the same problem again after another 50 mls (2) 9:30 when you tighten the screws the control arm has to be in position as if the car is down on wheels.
Your second point is so much more important than your first point. If you tighten those screws down while the car is up, you will put a whole lot of tension on those bushings all the time. Put the car down on all 4 wheels and tighten the screw then, that's the way to do it at home. Furthermore Tesla has service manuals, where they detail every step of this process including torque specs and which bolts can be reused and which should be replaced. That's the bare minimum which you should read before you show people "how it's done". This is the problem with knowledge... There are the things that you know, then there are things that you know you don't know and lastly there are things you don't know that you don't know it. This is such a case. As a car mechanic this is basic stuff, but for a layperson this is not obvious at all.
there is still grease in there, its just inadequately greased from the factory. get a needle tip for your grease gun and inject it in there. squeaking will stop in a week if you didn't ignore it for a long time.
Great video 🙏 but Dude, trying to use a regular hand ratchet to take off wheel lugnuts. Common Man. Lol😂😢😂 i don't think Arnold Swartzinegga could do that in his PRIME
You don't need to take the wheel off. Get a grease gun ($25) and a 18 Gauge grease needle ($10) and pump grease into the rubber boot. Drive a few miles to distribute the grease and enjoy. Done in 5 mins and < $35.
You can get the parts directly from Tesla. It costs around $90 each side. I picked mine up directly from the Tesla service center nearest to me same day.
Probably should have set the control arm to ride height before tightening the back two bolts down. If you did, ignore this comment. You fast forwarded through a lot of the reassembly process.
Yes, the arms are set in roughly the same position as how they were removed. Tesla has a special little hanger bracket to use for the process but for my purposes, close enough was good enough. The reassembly process is very easy, it’s just the disassembly process in reverse haha. I would’ve documented more but my phone died while recording.
Jesus christ dude, most Tesla drivers barely have enough common sense to make toast correctly and your trying to show owners how to replace suspension componenets?

Yes he should have upgraded to the MEYLE HD, designed to avoid water intrusions from the top.

This video is life changing, thank you!!!!
i did the injection method. so much easier. most importantly it fixed the issue.
Did you take it in for a wheel alignment after you replaced the parts?
Great video my friend👍

@@PandaMan02 yep that’s the way most people address the squeak. I wanted to show how to replace the part since nobody else has done that.
Great video👍👍 thanks!
Great Video! Many Thanks.

thanks for the video!
@@DarkPenguins1 you’re welcome, I hope it’s helpful
Seems to me there should've been a recall by Tesla's to fix their own faulty part.
@@rkgsd I think it’s covered under warranty but my warranty is expired.

yea, thats a temporary fix for the issue which is well documented, but I hadn't found anything on how to actually replace them.
yup yup. i did this 2 years ago. no issues since. **don't forget to use black silicone to seal the hole.
Where you buy the parts
You can get the parts directly from Tesla. It costs around $90 each side. I picked mine up directly from the Tesla service center nearest to me same day.
W video sir
thank you sir
Great video! How much did you paid for your control arms?
@@reginaldlewis07 about $90 per side from a tesla service center

Tesla will cover the labor to replace these - you just have to pay $200 in parts for both sides.
Hello Collab?

lol. fair play
