Tesla Model 3 / Y Front Lower Compliance Arm Bushing (1044358-00-A)
Replace the cracked bushing, not the whole curved arm
This is the large rubber bushing in the front lower curved control arm (compliance / banana arm). One part fits left or right. Match the number on your arm before you buy — Tesla has used more than one curved-arm revision.
The factory bushing is bonded into the arm. Removal destroys the old bushing and needs a hydraulic press, then a 4-wheel alignment. No press? Buy a complete control-arm kit instead.
Will this fit?
Do not order by model year alone. Look at the number stamped on the curved front lower arm (or on the old bushing). US, EU, and China cars use the same bushing number — there is no separate regional part.
Find the curved arm. Each front wheel has two lower arms: a straight one and a curved “banana” arm toward the rear of the wheel. This listing is only for the curved arm.
Read the stamp. The number on the arm is usually the arm number, not 1044358-00-A (that is the bushing). Match the stamp to the table below.
Buy the right quantity. 1 pc = one side, left or right. Bushings usually wear together — choose 2 pcs (pair) for both sides. Still unsure? Email a photo of the stamp and your VIN to support@tesery.com before ordering.
Number matches — add to cart
Safe to order if you see any of these:
- Bushing 1044358-00-A
- Left arm 1044354-00-A
- Right arm 1044359-00-A
- Early arm 1044351-00-C or 1044356-00-C
Typical cars: Model 3 from about June 2018–2023, Model Y 2020 through pre-refresh. Same OE worldwide.
Highland / new-stiffness arms
If the arm says 1344354-10-A or 1344359-10-A (common on 2024+ Model 3 Highland), Tesla changed the arm spec. Do not assume this bushing fits — send the stamp photo before you buy.
Wrong arm or later chassis
- Juniper / cold-climate arms 2188354-10-B / 2188359-10-B
- Straight-arm bushing 1044343-00-D — different listing
If you need the whole arm and no press, use a 6-piece control-arm kit instead.
| Status | What you see on the car | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fits | Bushing 1044358-00-A | This is the exact part. 1 pc per side; left and right are the same. |
| Fits | Curved arm 1044354-00-A (left) or 1044359-00-A (right) | Standard 2018.6–2023 Model 3 and most 2020–2024 Model Y. Order this bushing. |
| Fits | Early curved arm 1044351-00-C / 1044356-00-C | Pre–June 2018 Model 3. Same bushing in parts catalogs. Still photo-check if you can. |
| Confirm | Highland arm 1344354-10-A / 1344359-10-A | Different arm revision. Email a photo of the stamp + VIN before ordering. |
| No | Juniper / cold-climate arm 2188354-10-B / 2188359-10-B | Later chassis part. This bushing is not listed as a match. Do not order. |
| No | Straight-arm number 1044343-00-D (or 1044348 / 1044341) | Wrong location. That is the straight lateral arm — use the other bushing listing. |
Which bushing is this?
Curved arm · 1044358-00-A
Large subframe-end bushing in the front lower curved compliance arm. One bushing fits left or right. Choose 2 pcs to do both sides.

Product Specifications

Highland (1344…) and Juniper / cold-climate (2188…) arms are not a confirmed fit. Match the stamp, then order.
Key Features
Direct OE-spec replacement (1044358-00-A)
Made to original-equipment dimensions for the front lower curved control arm, so you can restore the factory joint without replacing the entire aluminum arm.
Quiets clunks, squeaks, and shudder
A torn compliance bushing lets the front end move under acceleration and braking. A fresh bushing restores isolation over bumps.
Repair the bushing, not the whole arm
Tesla often replaces the complete curved arm when only the rubber has cracked. If the arm is straight and the ball joint is good, this is the lower-cost repair.
Aluminum sleeves + bonded rubber
Press-in replacement for the factory subframe-end bushing. Not a polyurethane upgrade and not a spherical bearing.
