Outer CV Joint - Front L/R for Tesla Model Y | TL-5001

Product Overview

Key Specifications

Why It’s Critical for Your Model Y

• Electric Vehicle-Ready Durability: Built to handle the instant torque of Tesla’s electric motor, the high-carbon steel raceway and heat-treated housing resist wear and deformation—even under heavy acceleration or towing (where applicable).
• Smooth Power Transfer: The Rzeppa-style design uses precision-machined balls in a cage to distribute torque evenly, eliminating vibration or "clunking" during acceleration, deceleration, or turns. This preserves Model Y’s signature quiet, refined ride.
• All-Weather Protection: The TPE boot forms a tight seal against dirt, water, and road salt, while the included high-temperature grease (resistant to 180°C) prevents friction and corrosion. This extends joint life in harsh climates.
• Direct Fit Installation: Engineered to match Model Y’s front axle dimensions exactly. No modifications needed—fits seamlessly with existing driveshaft and wheel hub components, reducing installation time.

Signs It Needs Replacement

• Clicking or popping noises during turns (indicates worn ball bearings or damaged raceway).
• Vibration during acceleration (signals uneven torque distribution).
• Torn or cracked boot (allows contaminants to enter, leading to rapid joint failure).

Installation Notes

• Professional Installation Recommended: Requires removing the front wheel, axle, and old joint. Properly seating the new joint and securing the boot (with included clamps) is critical to prevent grease leakage.
• Lifetime Tip: Replace the entire CV joint assembly (not just the boot) if damage is detected—partial repairs often lead to premature failure.
• Maintenance Pairing: For balanced performance, replace left and right outer CV joints simultaneously, especially if the vehicle has high mileage.
