Inner CV Joint - Front L/R for Tesla Model Y | TL-7001T

Product Overview

Key Specifications

Core Advantages for Model Y Performance

• EV-Optimized Design: The tripod-style structure excels at handling both angular deflection and axial movement—critical for Tesla’s electric drivetrain, which delivers instant torque. This design minimizes power loss, ensuring efficient energy transfer and maximizing range.
• Durable Construction: Case-hardened alloy steel housing resists wear and deformation under high torque, while precision-ground rollers ensure smooth contact with the housing tracks. This reduces friction and extends service life, even in stop-and-go city driving or highway cruising.
• Enhanced Contamination Protection: The heat-shrink chloroprene boot forms a tight, flexible seal, preventing dirt, water, and road salt from entering the joint. Paired with high-temperature lubricant (stable at 180°C), it safeguards internal components from corrosion and premature wear.
• Vibration-Free Operation: Balanced components and tight tolerances eliminate shuddering or noise during acceleration, preserving Model Y’s quiet cabin and refined driving experience.

When to Replace

• Clunking during acceleration/deceleration: Indicates worn rollers or damaged housing tracks, which can disrupt power transfer.
• Vibration at low speeds: Signals misalignment or component wear, common in high-mileage vehicles.
• Boot damage (cracks/leaks): Allows contaminants to enter, accelerating joint failure—replace immediately to avoid costly drivetrain repairs.

Installation Guidelines

• Professional Installation Recommended: Requires removal of the front driveshaft, axle, and old joint. Proper alignment of the tripod with the transaxle and secure clamping of the boot are critical to ensure optimal performance.
• Pro Tip: Always replace the full assembly (joint + boot + lubricant) to guarantee a complete seal—partial repairs risk recontamination.
• Maintenance Note: For balanced performance, replace left and right inner CV joints simultaneously, especially if the vehicle has over 70,000 miles.
