Description

Restore proper rear suspension stability and handling with the MEYLE HD Rear Stabilizer Link, designed for applicable Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and Model S vehicles.

The stabilizer link, also called a sway bar link, anti-roll bar link, or coupling rod, connects the rear stabilizer bar to the suspension. It helps transfer stabilizer-bar forces during cornering and suspension movement, reducing body roll and helping maintain predictable handling.

This MEYLE HD stabilizer link is a reinforced version engineered for increased durability compared with a conventional OE-style design. MEYLE's HD stabilizer links feature an enhanced ball-head design intended to reduce surface pressure, wear, and play while improving durability.

The 70-16 060 0010/HD is the left-side rear stabilizer link and cross-references Tesla OE 1044491-00-F, 1044491-00-E, and 1288491-00-A. MEYLE specifies the part for the rear axle, left side, with a 144 mm length and M10 × 1.25 threads.

EVANNEX Fitment Note

Because the ECS listing you provided specifically identifies Model 3 (01/17-) and Model Y (03/19-), I would verify your EVANNEX catalog fitment against the vehicle/VIN data before adding Model S to the live fitment table.

Left-Side Application

This particular MEYLE part is the:

REAR LEFT STABILIZER LINK

MEYLE: 70-16 060 0010/HD
Tesla OE: 1044491-00-F

The corresponding right-side MEYLE HD stabilizer link is:

MEYLE: 70-16 060 0011/HD

MEYLE identifies 70-16 060 0011/HD as the paired article for this left-side component.

Important

This product is NOT the right-side stabilizer link.

Customers replacing both rear stabilizer links should order:

• 1 × 70-16 060 0010/HD — Left
• 1 × 70-16 060 0011/HD — Right

What Does a Rear Stabilizer Link Do?

The stabilizer link connects the vehicle's rear stabilizer bar to the suspension.

During cornering, the stabilizer bar works to reduce the difference in suspension movement between the left and right sides of the vehicle.

The stabilizer link transfers those forces between the suspension and stabilizer bar.

A properly functioning stabilizer system helps provide:

• Better cornering stability
• Reduced body roll
• More predictable handling
• Improved suspension response
• Proper stabilizer-bar operation

Stabilizer links are safety-relevant suspension components that help reduce vehicle rolling and pitching movements. 

Why Choose MEYLE HD?

The MEYLE HD version is designed as an upgraded alternative to a conventional stabilizer link.

MEYLE states that its HD stabilizer links use an enlarged ball-head surface to reduce surface pressure and wear. The company also uses reinforced materials and forged aluminum components in its HD stabilizer-link designs to increase durability.

MEYLE HD Benefits

Enhanced Durability
Reinforced construction is designed to withstand the forces experienced by the suspension.

Reduced Wear
The enlarged ball-head design reduces surface pressure and helps minimize wear.

Improved Stability
Helps maintain precise stabilizer-bar operation.

Longer Service Life
MEYLE HD components are engineered as a technically enhanced alternative to standard components.

Signs of a Worn Rear Stabilizer Link

A worn stabilizer link can produce noticeable suspension symptoms.

Common signs include:

• Clunking from the rear suspension
• Knocking when driving over bumps
• Increased body roll
• Loose or unstable cornering feel
• Suspension rattling
• Reduced handling precision
• Excessive movement at the stabilizer-link joints
• Uneven or inconsistent suspension response

A stabilizer-link noise can sometimes be mistaken for a worn control arm or other suspension component.

A professional suspension inspection is recommended when diagnosing these symptoms.

Sold Individually

This product is sold individually.

One MEYLE 70-16 060 0010/HD rear left stabilizer link is supplied per unit.

MEYLE recommends replacement in pairs.

EVANNEX Ordering Guide

Replacing the left side only:

1 × 70-16 060 0010/HD

Replacing both rear stabilizer links:

1 × 70-16 060 0010/HD — Left

1 × 70-16 060 0011/HD — Right

Replace Stabilizer Links in Pairs

EVANNEX recommends replacing stabilizer links in pairs.

If one rear stabilizer link has significant wear, the opposite side has experienced the same mileage and road conditions.

Replacing both sides can provide:

Balanced Suspension Response

Both sides receive matching components.

Consistent Wear Characteristics

New links are installed on both sides rather than mixing new and heavily worn components.

Reduced Repeat Repairs

Replacing both sides at the same time may prevent another stabilizer-link repair shortly afterward.

IMPROVED STABILITY

Helps the stabilizer bar control body roll and maintain predictable handling during cornering.

REPLACEMENT IN PAIRS RECOMMENDED

MEYLE recommends replacing the stabilizer links in pairs.

Installation

Professional installation is recommended.

Because the stabilizer link is part of the suspension system, proper installation and torque procedures are important.

During installation:

• Inspect the stabilizer bar and mounting points.
• Inspect the opposite stabilizer link for wear.
• Verify the correct left/right component.
• Follow the appropriate Tesla torque specifications.
• Ensure all fasteners are properly secured before driving.

A post-installation alignment is not normally required solely because a stabilizer link was replaced, provided no other suspension components were disturbed. However, an alignment inspection may be appropriate if the vehicle has other suspension issues or alignment symptoms.
