STEP 1

REMOVE FRUNK TRIM PANNEL

Prior to installation, the upper frunk section needs to be removed. To do so, begin by prying up on the corners. Figure-1 Red)

STEP 2

REMOVE FRONT DAMPER & SPRING ASSEMBLY

Now, you will have access to 4 bolts (2 15mm bolts and 2 13mm bolts. These can now be fully removed. (Figure- 3 Red) (Figure 2 Red)

We can now head into the wheel well. Remove 18mm nut that holds endlink to strut. (Figure- 4 Green)

Remove 15mm bolt that holds front upper control arm using a T50 and a 15mm socket. (Figure 5 Yellow)

Remove 21mm bolt and nut that secure strut assembly to lower control arm using a 21mm wrench and 21mm socket. (Figure- 4 Blue)
Once the assembly is out of the vehicle, you can remove 2 13mm bolts that are on the sides of the assembly. Removing these will free the OEM Front upper control arm. (Figure- 6)

STEP 3

INSTALLING UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM

Prior to installing UP front upper control arm, move quick change pill to the position that you will mostly be using your car (street or track). Once this is set, place back into position and reinstall 13mm bolts on either side. (21ftlbs) Once set, install arm as they state which side they correspond too. (Figure- 7)

Retorque all to recommended specs below once vehicle is on its own weight.

SWITCHING PILL:
To switch pill, jack up one side untill wheel is about to come off the ground but doesn’t. Remove both upper allen bolts and push arm up and away. Rotate pill 180 degrees and reinsert pill into arm. Retighten allen bolts.
SETTING TOE:
Once pill has been switched you will need to complete one full turn of the oem tie rod in order to correct toe. The easiest way to do this is to make a clear line across the tie rod across the rod, thread and locking nut. Next complete your one full turn either going out if you switched pill from track to street or turn tie rod coming in if you switched from street to track. 1 full turn can also be measure as 2 threads or 1/8th inch.

NOTE:

THIS WILL BRING YOUR TOE BACK CLOSE TO 0 BUT IT IS NOT EXACT. FOR FINE TUNING AN ALIGNMENT IS NECESSARY. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE WITH VERY LITTLE TOE WEAR

TURNBUCKLE ADJUSTMENT:
For camber adjustment, move both turnbuckles in for negative camber or out for positive camber.
For Caster move one turnbuckle in while the other turnbuckle moves in the opposite direction same amount of turns.
For toe, it is recommended to use the factory tie rod however you can use move one turnbuckle in or out to adjust toe. Please note that this will also affect Camber.

Tesla Model 3 Adjustable Front and Rear Sway Bar Set
One of my favorite upgrades to the Model 3, allows for fine-tuning of the entire suspension system to balance the car out. Each notch makes a noticeable difference, so certainly flexibility with the settings. I started with Medium/Medium settings and tuned them according to the car's handling.

I upgraded bushing to address an issue I had with lower control arm. Instead of buying OEM, decided to upgrade to spherical bushing from Unplugged. Definitely worth the upgrade. I recommend upgrade.

Unplugged Performance installed front/rear sway bars on my Model 3 Performance Highland. The change was instant: less body roll, flatter cornering, better grip, and precise control. It sharped handling without hurting ride comfort. This is a great value and would highly recommended.
