Good video, however I would always include secondary support to back up the jack stands. At 35:29 is was super sketchy when you lay under the car to refit the aero cover. If it had dropped you would have been permanently kaput.
I need to replace front lower control arms and have already waded through several pretty sketchy videos. This was PERFECT!!!!! Subscribed and looking forward to more. THANK YOU!
To do the lower control arms do i need to detach the strut or can it be done with that installed ? This is an amazing video thank you for aall those details
@@SergioERestrepo you should just be able to follow from the video for part you need to change. I don't see a need to remove the strut entirely at all.
@@LunchBoxArcades thank you. Yes! They claim it's because I posted a link however they blocked that post and told me why. Made a new post with no hyperlink and just mentioned there's a video out there if you go looking under the name Tesla DIY UK and they block the post and temporarily ban me until the 19th of September!!! Haha
You didn’t preload those lower compliance link at ride heights or is it myth ? In my case after few weeks those bushings started making squecking noise and had to take it to Tesla to readjust and retorque them, it saves time if you do it right the first time. How did it go in your experience?
@SunShine-bb2nc I just followed the Tesla Service manual. This isn't a step for the lower compliance link. However, for the upper control arms preloading is :) all tasks were done in accordance with the Tesla Service manuals available online free. I've driven a few miles now so will check all torques anyway as good practice. Not heard anything rattling
Where did you get that packet with all that info, curbed the tire bad enough that I need to keep the steering wheel about 30 degrees turned left to even drive straight
@@TeslaDIYUK Still remain to be convinced that double wishbone suspension is worth the complexity and subsequent maintenance headache. A Macpherson strut is super reliable with an easily changed track control arm the only wear component other than the damper itself, It does alter the camber a bit on hard cornering but I think its preferable overall on a road car.
@chriauc2976 I think opposite, but I've experienced 5 other EV models/manufacturers now and Tesla just do the software sooo damn good I'd take the misgivings elsewhere

@voidthewarranty1429 if it's my time then it's my time ;) joking I guess I could have put some wheels under there too
youre a better man than me for checking ride height before torque.

Thanks for this, very helpful👌
@@User23537 thanks you are welcome. More to come, anything you'd like to see next?
@@TeslaDIYUK Not for now, no problems with my Tesla at the moment👌
Beautiful!
Great job thanks can you please give me the information about this impact driver that you are using? it's seems really good to open the bolts.
@@MikeChina-q9u sure it's DeWalt DCF887N-XJ 18V Li-Ion XR Brushless Cordless Impact Driver
@ thank you very much 😄
Well that was satisfying to watch. At that mileage does it make sense to replace the shocks too?
@@mygiguser maybe?! I only replaced what failed on the car for the UK MOT test.
Great Video very informative 👌👌👌 have you done the brake lubrication with that milage?
Not yet.... I've owned from 92,000 up til now. Good idea for a video though, thank you!
Thanks , so helpful 👍
Amazing work!
@@richardhc76 thanks Richard you are welcome. More to come, anything you'd like to see next?
Would be nice to know where you got the spare parts from and total cost.
@stuart4176 I could do a follow up video/short for this 👍

@asantae007tv3 did you mean all the paper work/print outs I had?
Very professional vid ‘. Cheers 👍
140k is not that bad man, i heard the bush and suspension needs replacing way sooner than 40k... Is this the first time?
@behnamanisi1 I've only owned the car from 92,000 miles so under 40k was probably about right?

These cars are junk aren’t they. Will have to do same on our my 60miles. Crap 💩
