TESLA SUSPENSION & CONTROL ARM REPAIR NEAR SAN BRUNO

Tesla owners in San Bruno know that Peninsula roads — particularly around the 101 and 280 corridors — can be tough on suspension components. If your Model 3 or Model Y is making clunking sounds, pulling to one side, or wearing tires unevenly, it’s time for suspension service. EV Central Service, located at 718 Bryant St in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood, is just 14 miles and about 30 minutes from San Bruno.

Tesla Suspension: What You Need to Know

Control arm failure is one of the most common Tesla suspension issues we see, particularly on Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with higher mileage. The control arms are responsible for keeping the wheels properly positioned, and when they wear out — especially the bushings — you’ll notice handling changes and unusual tire wear patterns.

Tesla’s suspension geometry is specific to each model, and setting it back to factory spec after a repair requires precision alignment equipment and knowledge of Tesla’s published specifications. We have both.
