Repair Kit - Outer CV Joint - Front L/R For Tesla Model S/X | TL-5003XLB

Product Overview

What’s Included in the Kit

Key Specifications

Why This Kit Matters for Your Tesla Model S/X

• Complete Protection: The TPE boots act as an impenetrable barrier, effectively blocking dirt, water, and road salt from entering the CV joint. This protection is vital as contaminants can cause corrosion and premature wear, leading to costly repairs. The TPE material's ability to maintain its integrity in extreme conditions ensures continuous protection over an extended period.
• High - Torque Lubrication: The molybdenum - fortified lithium grease is specifically designed for the high - torque output of Tesla's electric motors. It can handle the intense forces generated during acceleration and deceleration, reducing friction and minimizing energy loss. This not only optimizes the performance of the front drivetrain but also contributes to better energy efficiency.
• Durable Hardware: The stainless - steel worm - drive clamps are highly resistant to rust and corrosion, guaranteeing they maintain their clamping force over time. The replacement circlips and dust shields, designed to OEM standards, fit precisely, providing a secure and reliable connection. This durability and precision fit enhance the overall reliability of the CV joint assembly.
• Cost - Effective Solution: Opting for this repair kit instead of replacing the entire CV joint assembly can save you a significant amount of money. By restoring the existing CV joint, you can retain the original high - quality components and ensure that the drivetrain performance remains at its optimal level.

Signs It’s Time to Use This Kit

• Damaged CV Joint Boot: If you notice tears, cracks, or splits in the boot, it's a clear indication that contaminants can enter the joint. This often results in a clicking or popping sound when turning, which is a sign of worn - out joint components due to lack of proper lubrication and protection.
• Grease Leakage: Pooling or dripping of grease around the CV joint area is a tell - tale sign of a damaged boot. Once the grease leaks out, the joint is no longer properly lubricated, and friction increases, accelerating wear and tear.
• Vibration during Acceleration: Uneven power transfer caused by a compromised CV joint can lead to vibrations felt in the vehicle during acceleration. This is especially noticeable when accelerating from a standstill or during high - speed driving.

Installation Guidelines

• Professional Installation Recommended: The installation process involves removing the front wheel, the axle, and carefully accessing the outer CV joint. After thoroughly cleaning the joint, apply 55g of the provided grease directly to the joint's moving parts. Then, pack the remaining 75g of grease into the new TPE boot. Secure the boot in place using the stainless - steel worm - drive clamps, tightening them to a torque of 3.5 - 5.5 Nm.
• Pro Tip: As soon as you detect any signs of boot damage or CV joint malfunction, it's crucial to replace the kit promptly. Delaying the repair can lead to more severe damage to the CV joint and other drivetrain components, resulting in more expensive repairs.
• Compatibility Note: This repair kit is designed to work seamlessly with the original front outer CV joints (TL - 5003 and equivalent OEM parts) of Tesla Model S and Model X. It ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance restoration.
