Product Details

Unplugged Performance Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms – Ultimate Edition for Tesla Model S (2021 – 2026+)

Designed for precision and adaptability, these control arms allow for precise suspension setup, ensuring your vehicle achieves superior handling and alignment.

Constructed from high quality materials, these control arms are built to withstand rigorous driving conditions while providing reliable performance. Featuring our patented camber pill technology, the flip pill can be used for quick changes between racing and road use camber alignment. This level of precision is essential for maintaining excellent handling characteristics, whether you’re driving at high speeds or navigating tight turns.

These control arms are an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking to optimize their Tesla Model S for spirited driving or to improve the comfort and control of their daily commute. With the Unplugged Performance Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms – Ultimate Edition, you’ll experience a new level of handling and performance in your Tesla Model S.

NO EXPENSE SPARED – ASYMMETRICAL BILLET DESIGN WITH CAMBER, CASTER, AND TOE ADJUSTMENT

It isn’t cheap to install parts, get alignment, and race. We figured why cut corners on budget when a few hundred dollars more can make the difference in performance, let’s just build the best product money can buy. Sure enough, these were not cheap to make. Each monoblock aluminum arm encases the ball joint in a massively rigid asymmetrical design. You’ll notice laser etching denoting LH and RH sides reflecting this. Each side has easy to access turnbuckles and bottom access adjustment points for alignment and provides control of camber, caster, and toe for the ultimate in alignment options. The shape is precisely sculpted in CAD to optimize suspension travel and retains clearance on full compression.

NEGATIVE CAMBER – SURE HOW MUCH?

More than you can afford pal. Seriously though, when we tested on our race car we maxed out at 5.8 degrees of negative camber on our race setting (3.8 degrees on street pill setting). It is safe to say that there is more camber adjustment possible than anyone would ever need. On our race cars we find the fastest settings on race slicks require -4.0 degrees of front camber which these do with ease. Want to lift your car and go overlanding? No problem, these can go positive camber as well to offset for increased height. This design allows for the maximum flexibility of adjustable camber range. Please note that actual max/min camber depends on variables such as vehicle ride height and type of spring/shock combination.

SILENT AND LOW VIBRATION OEM TYPE SEALED SPHERICAL BEARING DESIGN

We’ve set multiple racing records with these but you can enjoy them for your daily commute in blissful Autopilot enabled meditative silence as well. We guarantee it, along with all of our suspension products.

QUALITY YOU CAN SEE

We spend a lot on materials and we like to show them off in a hi-tech way. We use a rugged and corrosion-resistant Cerakote clear coating to encapsulate and show off the precisely CNC machined and laser etched aircraft grade 6061-T6 billet Aluminum.

Derived through extensive R&D on our track record-holding Model S Plaid race car, these arms are the best-engineered and easiest way to get the maximum front grip out of your Plaid Model S:

  • Fully adjustable front camber, caster, and toe
  • Patented Quick Camber Change Pill design
  • Maximize wheel and tire size and optimize geometry for maximum grip
  • CNC-milled 6061 aluminum for maximum strength while saving weight
  • FEA-simulation optimized to ensure superior static, dynamic, and fatigue strength
  • Sealed spherical bushings for unmatched precision and durability with silent operation
  • Replaces Tesla part numbers FR UPR CTRL ARM, LH, P2 1420321-00-B and FR UPR CTRL ARM, RH, P2

  • (1) Right Upper Arm

  • (1) Left Upper Arm

      Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q.
      Everything you need to know about this product before you buy.

      Do I need adjustable rear arms too, or just the fronts?

      The FUCA handles the front end; the rear is a separate system. If you have lowered the car or want a balanced track alignment, pairing these with the adjustable rear camber arms lets you correct the whole car rather than only the front. Many owners run both so front and rear geometry match. You can start with the FUCA and add the rear arms later as your goals grow.

      Can I set the alignment myself after installing these?

      The arms are built for accessible adjustment, with turnbuckles and bottom-access points you can reach on the car, and the flip pill speeds camber changes. That said, dialing in final numbers still calls for a proper alignment on a rack. Owners near Los Angeles can have our Hawthorne shop install and align them together. Once set, the pill lets you flip between your street and track figures without a full realignment each time.

      Are these worth it for a street car, or only for racing?

      They earn their keep on both. For track and race use, this is how you get maximum front grip and run real camber on slicks. For the street, adjustable caster and toe plus modest camber sharpen turn-in and can neutralize uneven tire wear from lowering. The build quality is deliberately over-spec, so nothing about running them daily is a compromise. Buy them if you want the front end you can actually tune.

      Does running aftermarket FUCA arms put my Tesla warranty at risk?

      Not on its own. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means Tesla has to show the arm caused a specific failure before denying a related claim, so the swap by itself is not grounds for blanket denial. Keep your factory upper arms if you want the option to return to stock. Our suspension products are backed by our own guarantee alongside that federal protection.

      What does a front upper control arm set actually let me adjust?

      This FUCA set gives you full adjustment of front camber, caster, and toe, all reachable within minutes. The factory arm is essentially fixed, so you are stuck with stock geometry. With easy-access turnbuckles and bottom-access adjustment points, you can set the front end for grip on track or comfort on the street. That range is why serious Model S owners start here when they want to actually tune the front.

      How much negative camber can these FUCA arms run?

      A lot, more than almost anyone needs on the street. On our race car we maxed out at 5.8 degrees of negative camber on the race pill setting and 3.8 degrees on the street pill setting. For reference, our fastest race-slick setup uses about 4.0 degrees of front camber, which these handle easily. They can also go positive to offset a lifted, overlanding ride height. Actual limits shift with your ride height and spring or shock combination.

      What is the patented camber pill and why does it matter?

      It is a flip pill that lets you jump between a street camber setting and a race camber setting quickly, and it is covered by U.S. Patent No. 11,926,362. Rather than re-shimming everything, you flip the pill and you are in a different alignment window. That is what makes moving between a daily setup and a track setup a matter of minutes. The FUCA ships with the pill already installed.

      Does this fit a 2021 Model S, and will it work on the 2026 refresh?

      Yes to both. The set fits the 2021 through 2026+ Model S and Model S Plaid, and it replaces Tesla front upper control arm part numbers 1420321-00-B on the left and 1420326-00-B on the right. It is not a pre-2021 part, so an older Model S needs different arms. Match your car to the 2021+ range and these bolt in as a direct replacement.

      What are the FUCA arms made of?

      Each arm is a monoblock of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum, CNC-machined and laser-etched with LH and RH markings, then finished in a corrosion-resistant Cerakote clear coat that shows off the metal. The design is asymmetrical and massively rigid around the ball joint, and it was FEA-simulation optimized for static, dynamic, and fatigue strength. The shape is sculpted in CAD to keep suspension travel and clearance at full compression, and the joint itself is a serviceable wear item with its own replacement ball joint down the road.

      Are spherical bearings in a street car going to be noisy?

      No. These use a sealed spherical bearing of the silent, low-vibration OEM type, so you get the precision of a race joint without the harshness a raw uniball transmits into the cabin. We have set multiple racing records on these arms, yet you can still drive to work in quiet, Autopilot-enabled calm. The sealing is what lets the same part serve the track and the daily commute.

      Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?

      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.

      What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?

      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.

      Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?

      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.
