ZF Lemförder control arms for Tesla Model 3 & Model Y: part numbers, fitment, prices
Updated · Version française
Short answer: MapleV stocks five ZF Lemförder front suspension parts for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, each under Tesla's own OE number: the left and right front upper control arms (1188321-10-C / 1188326-10-C), the left and right front lower compliance links (2188354-10-B / 2188359-10-B) and the front lower lateral link (2188341-00-B, Model Y and Model Y Juniper only). List prices run CA$189–CA$299, with a 2 years or 60,000 km warranty.
Lemförder is ZF's brand for steering and chassis parts. ZF states that its Lemförder replacement parts match the carmaker's specifications, with no change in dimensions or material.
The ZF Lemförder parts: Tesla OE numbers, fitment and prices
Each part is listed under the Tesla OE number on the part, so you can match it to the number on the old part or on the repair estimate. Prices are MapleV list prices in Canadian dollars; approved repair-shop accounts see their net price.
The lower lateral link is the Model Y and Model Y Juniper part. The Model 3 and Model 3 Highland take lateral link 1044341 instead.

ZF Lemförder or aftermarket: prices side by side
We also stock an aftermarket version of each position, cross-referenced to Tesla OE numbers in the same way. Both carry the same 2 years or 60,000 km warranty. The difference is the part itself: the ZF Lemförder part is built to the carmaker's specification; the aftermarket version is a third-party equivalent at a lower price.
For one car's front end — both upper control arms, both compliance links and two lateral links — the six pieces list at CA$1,534 in ZF Lemförder and CA$934 in aftermarket.
| Position | ZF Lemförder | Aftermarket | Difference |

The ZF Lemförder front suspension set: 8% off the six pieces
For a Model Y or Model Y Juniper: both front upper control arms, both front lower compliance links and two lower lateral links (one part number serves both sides). Bought together, each piece is 8% off: CA$1,411.28 for the set instead of CA$1,534, a saving of CA$122.72.
The set price shows in the cart as soon as all six pieces are in it. It is for retail orders and does not add to a promo code: each part takes whichever discount is larger. Approved repair-shop accounts keep their net pricing.
What ZF says about Lemförder replacement parts
ZF Aftermarket sells Lemförder steering and chassis parts to independent workshops. In a March 2024 release ZF wrote that the parts correspond 100 per cent to the carmaker's specifications, with no changes in dimensions or material, and its Lemförder FAQ says they meet the same quality standards as the parts built for volume production.
The owl on the box goes back to the founder of Lemförder Metallwaren in 1947: his surname, Ulderup, contains the Low German word for owl, "Ule" (ZF Aftermarket FAQ).

Frequently asked
Are ZF Lemförder control arms the same as the Tesla original?
They carry Tesla's own OE numbers — 1188321-10-C for the left front upper control arm, for example — and ZF states that Lemförder replacement parts match the carmaker's specifications in dimensions and material. Check the OE number on your old part or estimate before ordering.
What does a ZF Lemförder upper control arm cost in Canada?
At MapleV, CA$189 list each side: OE 1188321-10-C (left) and 1188326-10-C (right). Our aftermarket upper control arm is CA$89.
What warranty comes with the ZF Lemförder parts?
2 years or 60,000 km from the invoice date against defects in material and workmanship — parts only, not labour or alignment. The same term covers every suspension part we sell.
Does the ZF lower lateral link fit a Model 3?
No. 2188341-00-B is listed for the Model Y and Model Y Juniper only. The Model 3 and Model 3 Highland use lateral link 1044341.
How does the front set discount work?
Put both upper control arms, both compliance links and two lateral links in the cart — the "Add the full set to cart" button on this page does it. Each of those lines is then 8% off, CA$1,411.28 for one set. Retail orders only, and it does not combine with a promo code.
Why is there an owl on ZF Lemförder boxes?
ZF says the owl goes back to the founder of Lemförder Metallwaren in 1947: his surname, Ulderup, contains the Low German word for owl, "Ule".
