M10-1.5X94 HF Bolt for Tesla Model 3/Y (2017-) | 1461654-00-A

1. Key Specifications & Compatibility

2. Why This Brand-Grade HF Bolt Is Critical for Your Model 3/Y

1. Withstands Mid-Load Stress: [109] steel’s 1000 MPa tensile strength is calibrated for Model 3/Y’s mid-load components (e.g., control arm brackets). Unlike low-grade bolts (e.g., 8.8-grade steel, 800 MPa), it won’t bend or snap when absorbing road shocks, preventing component shifts that cause uneven tire wear or poor handling.
2. No Rust or Seizure: ZNFL coating + CMAT treatment creates a barrier against corrosion—even in snowy regions (road salt) or coastal areas (humidity). Generic bolts often rust shut within 6–12 months, forcing costly drilling during maintenance; this bolt remains removable for future repairs.
3. Perfect Factory Fit: Exact thread pitch (1.5mm) and shank length (94mm) eliminate “forced installation” (a common issue with generic bolts that strip factory threaded holes, leading to permanent damage). It screws into Model 3/Y’s mounting points seamlessly, no gaps or tight spots.
4. Stays Tight Under Vibration: Fine ISO threads and high-tensile material lock the bolt in place during constant vehicle vibration (e.g., highway speeds, gravel roads). Loose bolts cause rattling, accelerated component wear, or even safety risks—this bolt avoids those issues with consistent holding power.

3. What It Actually Does (No Tech Jargon)

• Secures Key Car Parts: This bolt fastens components like suspension control arm brackets to your Model 3/Y’s chassis—think of it as a “super-strong screw” that keeps these parts stable, even when you hit a pothole or drive over bumpy roads.
• Won’t Rust or Get Stuck: The double corrosion protection means it won’t rust, even if you drive in snow, rain, or near the ocean. Rusty bolts often get stuck so tight you have to drill them out—this one stays usable for years, making future repairs easier.
• Tough Enough for Daily Use: Unlike cheap bolts that bend when you tighten them or snap under stress, the [109] steel is strong enough to handle Tesla’s recommended torque (50–60 Nm) without damage. It won’t fail unexpectedly, even with daily driving.
• Fits Like It Came From the Factory: It’s the exact size and thread pattern Tesla uses—no guessing if it will fit, no damaging the car’s mounting holes. You can install it quickly without modifying the vehicle.

4. Signs You Need to Replace This Bolt

• Visible Rust/Flaking: The bolt’s surface is rusted, peeling, or discolored (the ZNFL+CMAT coating has failed, and the steel is weakening—risk of breakage under load).
• Bolt Damage: The bolt is bent, has a cracked head, or stripped threads (can’t be safely tightened, or will loosen during driving).
• Loose Components: The part fastened by this bolt (e.g., suspension bracket) feels wobbly or makes rattling noises—signals the bolt is stretched, worn, or not holding properly.
• Post-Repair Replacement: If you’re servicing suspension, crossmember, or body components that use this bolt, always install a new one (used bolts may have hidden stress damage that causes sudden failure).
• Seized Bolt: The old bolt was stuck (rusted in place) and had to be drilled out or cut during maintenance—you need a new bolt to resecure the component safely.

5. Why This Brand-Grade Bolt Outperforms Generic Alternatives

• Genuine [109] Steel Strength: Generic bolts claim “high strength” but use 8.8-grade steel (800 MPa) that fails under mid-load stress. This bolt uses authentic [109] steel (1000 MPa), matching Tesla’s factory strength standards for reliable performance.
• Dual Corrosion Protection vs. Single Plating: Generic bolts use thin zinc plating that rusts quickly. The ZNFL+CMAT double treatment here lasts 5+ years, resisting corrosion in harsh conditions—no premature rust or seizure.
• Precision Threads vs. Inconsistent Cuts: Generic bolts have uneven threads that strip factory holes or loosen over time. This bolt’s ISO-standard 1.5mm pitch fits Model 3/Y’s holes exactly, avoiding permanent damage to the vehicle’s mounting points.
• Torque Compliance vs. Breakage Risk: Generic bolts break when tightened to Tesla’s 50–60 Nm spec or stretch and loosen. This bolt is calibrated to handle the factory torque range, ensuring a secure fit that lasts for years.

6. Installation & What You Receive

• 1x M10-1.5X94 HF Bolt (1461654-00-A)
• Digital Installation Guide: Step-by-step tips to ensure safe, correct installation, including:
  • Recommended tools: Torque wrench (to apply 50–60 Nm accurately—do not use impact wrenches, as they over-tighten and damage the bolt or threads).
  • Prep steps: Clean mounting holes with a soft brush to remove debris (prevents thread damage during installation; debris can cause uneven torque).
  • Safety note: Never reuse old bolts—hidden stress or coating wear can lead to unexpected failure. Always use a new brand-grade bolt for critical components.

7. After-Sales Support
