Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing for Tesla Model S/X (2012-2023) | 1027451-00-FCT

Why This Bushing Defines Your Tesla’s Rear Suspension

What It Actually Does (In Simple Terms)

• Shock Absorption: Made from high-performance rubber, it soaks up impacts from potholes, curbs, and uneven roads—so you don’t feel every jolt in the cabin.
• Alignment Stability: Holds the rear lower control arm in precise position, ensuring your wheels stay parallel and centered. No more “pulling” to one side or uneven tire tread wear.
• Noise Reduction: Blocks metal-on-metal contact between the control arm and chassis, eliminating annoying clunks, squeaks, or rattles when turning or braking.
• Flex Without Fail: Flexes just enough to let the control arm move with the suspension (during dips or swells in the road) but stays rigid enough to prevent excessive movement—critical for high-speed stability.

Signs Yours Needs Replacement

• Clunking Noises: A “thud” or “rattle” from the rear when going over bumps, turning, or braking. This is worn rubber letting metal parts grind together.
• Loose Handling: Your Tesla feels “wobbly” at high speeds, or takes longer to steady after a turn. The bushing can’t keep the control arm stable anymore.
• Uneven Tire Wear: Bald spots on the inner edges of your rear tires (a sure sign of misalignment caused by a failing bushing).
• Vibration in the Cabin: Rattling felt through the seats or floor, even on smooth roads. The bushing isn’t blocking road vibrations like it should.

Built to Tesla’s Tough Standards

Why It Outlasts Cheap Alternatives

• Tesla-Specific Engineering: The rubber compound is calibrated to handle the weight of Model S/X (up to 5,800 lbs). It won’t compress or warp under heavy loads, unlike generic parts.
• Steel-Reinforced Core: A rigid steel sleeve prevents the bushing from deforming, keeping the control arm aligned even during hard braking or sharp turns.
• Weatherproof: Resists oil, road salt, and UV damage—critical for rear suspension parts exposed to rain, snow, and debris.
• Perfect Fit: Exact dimensions match your original bushing, so installation requires no trimming or modification.
