Tesla Model S (2012-2020) Suspension Arm Refresh Kit

The Unplugged Performance Tesla Model S (2012–2020) Suspension Arm Refresh Kit is your one-stop solution to bring an older or recently purchased used Model S back to its best. Years of weight, torque, and mileage take a toll on the factory rubber-bushed arms, leading to knocks, creaks, vague steering, and uneven tire wear. This bundle replaces the weak links with upgraded, alignment-friendly components front and rear that aim to restoring confidence, comfort, and precision in a single, cohesive package.

This kit contains:

• 2012–2020 Tesla Model S Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set
• Tesla Model S Front Lower Compliance Fore & Lateral Aft Arms with Spherical Bushings
• Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set for Tesla Model S

Whether you’ve just bought your first used Model S or you’re refreshing a long-term daily, this is the suspension reset the car deserves.

Fix the common Model S suspension wear points

The factory front lower arms use soft rubber bushings that can wear out in as little as 30,000–50,000 miles under the Model S’s weight and power. The result is steering slop, imprecise response, and the familiar knocking or creaking over bumps. At the rear, non-adjustable factory camber and toe arms limit alignment options, often causing excessive inner tire wear—especially on air-suspension and/or lowered cars.

The Suspension Arm Refresh Kit directly addresses all of these issues at once: it replaces worn components, upgrades key bushings and ball joints, and adds full adjustability where Tesla gave you none.

Front Lower Compliance Arms with Spherical Bushings

The Front Lower Compliance Fore & Lateral Aft Arms are full OEM-spec replacement arms constructed from high-quality cast aluminum, preloaded with upgraded bushings and ball joints. Instead of soft, deflecting rubber, you get aircraft-grade sealed spherical bushings in key locations, paired with high-quality rubber where it best protects noise and comfort.

These arms were developed and proven under extreme conditions, including Pikes Peak Hill Climb in our “Dark Helmet” Model S race car and real-world testing on the Nürburgring and daily street driving. The result is:

• Sharper steering and more immediate chassis response
• Reduced bushing deflection for consistent geometry
• Less steering correction and driver fatigue on long trips

Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arms

At the rear, adjustable billet toe arms give alignment shops the range they need to dial in proper toe for both street and track use. Built from CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish, these arms are engineered to withstand years of hard use while maintaining precise adjustment.

More accurate toe settings mean better stability at highway speeds, more predictable behavior on corner entry, and reduced scrub that can eat away at expensive rear tires.

Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arms

The Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set functions as a camber correction kit, solving the chronic inner tire wear many Model S owners experience. Factory arms are fixed-length; our adjustable arms add more than 3 degrees of camber range so you can:

• Reduce excessive negative camber for longer tire life
• Fine-tune camber for your preferred handling balance
• Correct camber on lowered cars back toward factory specs

Each arm is pre-set in a jig to match the OEM length out of the box, giving alignment shops a known baseline and simplifying installation. Silent, low-vibration design ensures they remain daily-driver friendly.

Designed for real-world ownership

Every component in this kit is fully bolt-on and designed for straightforward installation. Once fitted, a proper four-wheel alignment will unlock the full benefit: quieter, tighter, more confidence-inspiring suspension with improved tire wear and a more premium driving feel.

For owners near our facility, professional installation is available through Unplugged Performance, making it easy to transform your 2012–2020 Model S in a single visit.

If your Model S is starting to feel loose, noisy, or hard on tires, the Suspension Arm Refresh Kit is the cleanest way to reset everything at once and enjoy the car the way it was meant to drive.
