Shock Absorber Core - Front Left/Right (Hydraulic, 2WD) | 1015619-00-CX

The Quiet Force That Tames the Road

Hydraulic Precision: How It Works Harder So You Feel Less

• Dual-Stage Damping: The internal piston uses a two-valve system to handle small bumps and big impacts differently. Hit a cracked asphalt patch? It softens to absorb the vibration. Slam into a pothole? It stiffens instantly to prevent the front end from bottoming out—no more teeth-rattling jolts.
• Heat-Resistant Fluid: The hydraulic oil inside is formulated to stay stable even after hours of heavy use (think: mountain roads or stop-and-go traffic). Unlike cheaper fluids that thin out when hot (causing "spongy" handling), this one maintains consistent viscosity, so the shock performs the same at 90°F as it does at 30°F.
• 2WD-Specific Tuning: Two-wheel-drive Teslas have different weight distribution and front-end load than AWD models. This core is calibrated to match that balance—firmer enough to reduce body roll during turns, but soft enough to keep the ride comfortable on long drives.

Built to Outlast the Miles (and the Elements)

• Tough as Tesla’s Standards: The outer cylinder is made from seamless cold-rolled steel, resisting rust and corrosion even in salt-heavy winters or coastal climates. It’s built to handle 100,000+ miles of abuse without bending or leaking.
• Sealed for Life: The nitrogen gas charge (yes, it’s pressurized) is locked in with a triple-lip seal, preventing air and moisture from sneaking in. No more "foaming" fluid (a common cause of shock failure) that turns smooth rides into bouncy ones.
• Direct-Fit Design: Every mounting bushing, eyelet, and bolt hole matches Tesla’s original specs. It slides into place without modifications, so you won’t waste time drilling or adjusting—critical for DIYers or shops looking to speed up repairs.

Signs Your Shocks Are Begging for a Swap

• Floaty Highway Rides: Your Tesla feels like it’s "wandering" over bumps, or the front end dips hard when braking. This means the shock can’t control spring movement anymore.
• Bouncy Feedback: After hitting a curb or speed bump, the front end bounces 2+ times before settling. That’s a clear sign the hydraulic fluid has degraded or the valves are worn.
• Uneven Tire Wear: Scalloped or cupped patterns on your front tires? Faulty shocks let the wheels bounce excessively, grinding down rubber unevenly.
• Clunking Noises: A dull "thud" from the front when turning or hitting bumps? The shock’s mounting bushings are shot, letting metal rub against metal.

Installation: Simple Enough for Pros, Doable for Savvy DIYers

• No Special Tools Needed: It bolts in with 4 standard bolts (17mm socket works) and connects to the spring and control arm without tricky adapters. Torque specs? 45 Nm for the top mount, 55 Nm for the lower—same as Tesla’s factory guidelines.
• Pro Tip: Replace both front shocks at once. Even if only one feels bad, the other is likely worn to match. Mismatched shocks cause uneven handling and premature wear on the new part.
• Test It Right: After installation, take a test drive over a rough road. You should notice the front end "hugging" the pavement—no bouncing, no excess noise. That’s the 1015619-00-CX doing its job.
