Product Details
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.

Why does an older Model S start to feel loose, clunky, or vague?
The factory front lower arms use soft rubber bushings that wear out in as little as 30,000 to 50,000 miles under the Model S’s weight and power. As they degrade you get steering slop, imprecise response, and knocking or creaking over bumps. At the rear, non-adjustable factory camber and toe arms limit alignment, which often causes heavy inner tire wear, especially on lowered or air-suspension cars.
What exactly is in the Suspension Arm Refresh Kit?
Three components: the 2012 to 2020 Model S Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set, the Front Lower Compliance Fore and Lateral Aft Arms with Spherical Bushings, and the Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set. Together they replace the worn front and rear links, upgrade key bushings and ball joints, and add adjustability where Tesla gave you none. It is sold as one bundle at $3,395.00.
Does this kit fit every 2012 to 2020 Model S?
Yes, it fits all trims of the 2012 to 2020 Tesla Model S. That covers rear-drive, dual-motor, and Performance cars across those years. It is designed as a full bolt-on, so no cutting or welding is required. After fitting, a proper four-wheel alignment unlocks the full benefit, since the new rear arms give the alignment shop the adjustment range the factory parts lack.
What are the front compliance arms made of and how were they tested?
They are full OEM-spec replacement arms in high-quality cast aluminum, preloaded with aircraft-grade sealed spherical bushings in the key locations and quality rubber where it best controls noise. Sold on their own as the Front Lower Compliance Fore and Lateral Aft Arms, they were proven at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in our Dark Helmet Model S race car, plus Nurburgring and daily street testing. The result is sharper steering, less deflection, and less correction on long drives.
How much camber adjustment do the rear arms give me?
The Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set adds more than 3 degrees of camber range, working as a camber correction kit. That lets you pull out the excessive negative camber many Model S cars run from the factory, which is the usual cause of chronic inner tire wear. Each arm is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and pre-set in a jig to OEM length for a known baseline.
Will this kit fix my inner rear tire wear?
That is one of its main jobs. Factory rear arms are fixed-length, so if the car runs too much negative camber you cannot dial it out, and the inner edges of the rear tires wear fast. The adjustable camber and toe arms let an alignment shop set proper geometry, reduce scrub, and protect expensive rear tires. Lowered cars, which tend to gain negative camber, benefit most.
How hard is this to install, and can your shop do it?
Every component is fully bolt-on and designed for straightforward installation, though it is a multi-part suspension job that ends with a required four-wheel alignment. For owners near us, professional installation is available at Unplugged Performance, so you can transform the car in a single visit. If you install it yourself, budget for alignment time afterward to realize the handling and tire-wear gains.
Is this kit for track use or for everyday driving?
Primarily everyday ownership. The design is silent and low-vibration so the arms stay daily-driver friendly, while the spherical bushings sharpen response for spirited driving. It is aimed at bringing an aging or newly purchased used Model S back to a tight, quiet, confident state. Track drivers benefit from the added adjustability too, but comfort and tire life drove the design.
How does this compare to just replacing worn parts with factory arms?
Stock replacements return you to the original soft-rubber, non-adjustable setup that wore out and limited alignment in the first place. This kit upgrades the bushings to sealed spherical units, adds ball-joint improvements, and builds in more than 3 degrees of rear camber adjustment. So you get a car that is tighter than a fresh factory refresh and correctable at the alignment rack, where stock parts only return you to baseline.
Is this a smart first upgrade for a used Model S I just bought?
It is one of the cleanest ways to reset the chassis at once. Years of weight, torque, and mileage take a toll on the rubber-bushed arms, and this bundle addresses the common wear points in a single package. Pair it with the 2012 to 2020 lowering kit if you also want a lower stance, since the adjustable arms let you correct geometry afterward.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?

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.
What are the shipping options and times?
Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window.
