How the job went
Problem
Because of the car's heavy weight, the suspension arms were worn and the handling had lost its precision.
What we did
We replaced the front lower and upper control arms with reinforced Meyle HD parts and checked the steering shaft joint.
Result
The ride is quiet and stable, and the steering is precise again.
Job details
Electric cars like this Tesla Model S (2014) put a considerable load on the suspension due to their heavy weight and instant torque. A customer came to GT Garage needing the suspension components sorted out to restore precise handling and ride comfort.
Work carried out and inspection
After a thorough suspension diagnosis, the following repairs were made:
- Control arm replacement: The front lower rear right-hand control arm and the front upper control arm were replaced.
- Steering system: The steering shaft universal joint was inspected to confirm the precision and safety of the steering mechanism.
Why we chose “Meyle HD”
We often recommend Meyle HD (High Durability) series parts to Tesla Model S owners. Why?
- Reinforced design: These parts are engineered to exceed the durability of the original (OEM) parts.
- Suited to electric cars: Given the Tesla’s weight, Meyle HD control arms and bushes offer a longer service life and better resistance to the stresses of Latvian roads.
Costs and warranty
We stand for transparent pricing and want to show that maintaining an electric car with professionals outside the dealer network can make financial sense:
- Total cost (diagnostics + labour + “Meyle HD” parts): from €406.
After the repair, the customer gets not only a quiet and stable ride but also confidence in the quality of the fitted components.
