(2021 – 2026+) Tesla Model S / Model X – Pikes Peak Spec Rear Sealed Spherical 6pc Bushing Upgrade Kit

They are built for both. The bearings are sealed specifically so they retain lubrication and resist contamination, which is what gives spherical bushings long-term consistency on the road instead of wearing out quickly. The kit is described as optimized for spirited driving, track use, and alignment consistency. So a Model S or X that sees canyon runs and daily miles benefits from it, and the payoff is not reserved for a dedicated track car.

Both, and they are linked. By minimizing unwanted suspension movement, the kit improves alignment retention, so your settings stay put mile after mile instead of drifting as rubber flexes and ages. The handling gain, crisper rear response and better mid-corner stability, comes from that same reduction in deflection. Owners report the upgrade results in better handling and alignment, which tracks with what removing compliance does.

It is described as easy to install for experienced enthusiasts or professionals, since pressing spherical bushings is involved work best suited to someone comfortable with suspension. In-store installation by our Hawthorne team is available for owners local to Los Angeles. Whichever route you take, plan for an alignment afterward, because changing bushings changes how the rear sits.

Rubber and polyurethane still flex and can introduce compliance, which softens response and lets alignment move. Sealed spherical bearings lock that motion out for the sharpest, most consistent rear end, and the seal keeps them durable where an open spherical would collect grit. If you want maximum precision and alignment stability, spherical is the top tier. If you want quiet comfort above all, softer bushings ride more forgivingly.

Spherical bushings transmit a bit more road feel than compliant rubber, since that directness is exactly what removes the vague, disconnected sensation. The trade is a firmer, more communicative rear end rather than a punishing one, and running a lighter forged wheel such as our Model S / Model X UP-04 wheels drops unsprung mass to keep that firmer setup composed over bumps. If your priority is the softest possible ride, know that any deflection-reducing upgrade tightens the car up somewhat.

Installing aftermarket suspension bushings does not automatically void your Tesla coverage. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means Tesla has to prove the kit caused a specific failure before denying that claim, not simply cite the modification. Keeping your factory bushings gives you a route back to stock. The sealed spherical design is built for long-term reliability, so it is meant to live on the car for years, not fade after a season.

It replaces six rear suspension bushings with sealed spherical bearings, which cut the deflection that soft rubber allows. The result is a sharper, more connected rear end: crisper response to your inputs and better mid-corner composure that holds mile after mile. It is aimed at drivers who want the rear axle to feel tight and predictable rather than vague, without giving up long-term reliability.

Yes if it is a 2021-2026+ Model S or Model X. That is the direct-fit window stated in the title and fitment section, so newer Plaid and Long Range cars in that range are covered. If you have a 2012-2020 Model S or X, this specific kit is not for you, and you should ask us about the right rear suspension parts for the earlier chassis.

It includes six sealed spherical rear bushings, crafted for durability and precision. That is the whole kit, focused on the rear bushings that most affect how the axle locates under load. Because it is a bushing set rather than full arms, it is a targeted upgrade for owners who want to remove rear compliance without swapping every suspension component.

The name reflects UP’s motorsport development heritage; the company has run Tesla programs at the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. The engineering intent is a rear end that stays composed under the kind of load that hillclimb and track driving generate. Treat the name as pointing to that development focus and the motorsport-grade sealed bearings, rather than a certification. If you want to feel that composure yourself, a TeslaCorsa track day is where a tightened-up rear end shows its value.

Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.

Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.

This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.

To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.

Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
