Front lower arm rubber sleeve (large)

A Front Lower Arm Rubber Sleeve (Large) is a heavy-duty bushing that serves as a pivot and isolation point within the front lower control arm of a Tesla's suspension system. This large, cylindrical rubber component is pressed into the arm's mounting points and surrounds a metal sleeve through which a bolt passes to attach the arm to the subframe or chassis. Its primary functions are to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, allow controlled movement of the suspension, and reduce noise transmission to the cabin. Over time, this sleeve can crack, harden, or deform, leading to clunking noises, loose steering feel, and irregular tire wear
