Rear Suspension Knuckle - Right for Tesla Model X (2015-2021) | 1027416-00-D

The Right Rear’s Unsung Guardian of Stability

How It Elevates Your Model X’s Capabilities

• Load Handling Expertise: When you’ve got luggage, groceries, and passengers filling the cabin, it supports up to 1,800 lbs of static weight without bending—keeping the right rear tire evenly pressed to the road for consistent traction.
• Towing Stability: Hauling a trailer? It counteracts the lateral forces that would make the rear end sway, working with the suspension links to keep the SUV tracking straight even when the load shifts.
• Rough Road Resilience: Potholes, broken pavement, or off-road ruts—this knuckle absorbs impacts and distributes them across the rear suspension, turning jarring bumps into smooth transitions that keep passengers comfortable.

Clues Your Right Rear Knuckle Needs Attention

• Right Rear Tire Misery: The right rear tire’s shoulder is worn ragged, while the left looks fine. This uneven wear is a red flag: the knuckle is warped, throwing off camber and toe alignment.
• Rear Vibration at Speed: Above 60 mph, you feel a rhythmic shake in the rear. A bent knuckle is making the wheel spin out of true, risking damage to the hub bearing (a $300+ replacement) if left unaddressed.
• Braking Thuds: A dull “clunk” from the right rear when you brake hard? It’s likely loose mounting points on the knuckle—ignoring it could let the wheel shift under stress, compromising stopping power.

Why It Outperforms Aftermarket Knockoffs

• Forged Strength: Made from SAE 1045 high-carbon steel, forged (not cast) to create a dense, uniform structure that resists bending. It’s why it handles years of potholes and heavy loads without fatigue.
• Precision Engineering: CNC-machined to within ±0.02mm of Tesla’s specs, so it fits perfectly with the right rear control arms, brake caliper, and hub. No “adjustments” needed—just bolt it on and go.
• Corrosion Resistance: A 5-layer coating (zinc phosphate + epoxy primer + topcoat) stands up to 1,000 hours of salt spray. Whether you’re in coastal humidity or snowy, salted roads, it won’t rust or seize.
