Outer CV Joint - Front L/R for Tesla Model S/X | TL-5003
Product Overview
The Outer CV Joint TL-5003 is a high-strength drivetrain component engineered specifically for Tesla Model S and Model X front axles, compatible with both left (L) and right (R) sides. As a critical link between the front driveshaft and wheel hub, it efficiently transfers torque from the electric motor to the wheels while accommodating suspension movement and steering angles—ensuring seamless power delivery, even under the intense, instant torque of Tesla’s high-performance drivetrain.

Core Benefits for Model S/X Performance
Luxury EV Durability: Built to withstand the extreme torque of Model S and X’s high-performance motors (including Plaid trims), the nickel-chromium alloy raceway and forged housing resist wear, corrosion, and deformation—even during aggressive acceleration or high-speed driving.
Silent, Vibration-Free Operation: Precision-machined components (with 0.01mm tolerance) ensure even torque distribution, eliminating clicking, popping, or shuddering during turns or acceleration. This preserves the Model S/X’s signature quiet, refined ride quality.
Superior Contamination Protection: The reinforced silicone boot forms an impenetrable seal, while zinc-plated clamps prevent loosening over time. The included high-pressure grease (stable at 200°C) resists breakdown, protecting internal parts from dirt, water, and road salt—critical for longevity in all climates.
OEM-Grade Fit: Engineered to match Model S/X front axle dimensions exactly, requiring no modifications. Seamlessly integrates with existing driveshafts and wheel hubs, ensuring a factory-like installation for professionals.
