Take Full Control of Your Tesla’s Rear Alignment
If you own a 2012-2020 Tesla Model S or 2015-2020 Model X, you’ve likely heard about or already experienced one of the platform’s most frustrating ownership issues: premature inner rear tire wear. Owners across enthusiast communities routinely report shredding the inside edge of their rear tires in as little as 10,000 to 15,000 miles, long before the tread should be gone. The culprit isn’t bad luck. It’s the limitations of the factory rear suspension geometry, and it’s exactly what the Unplugged Performance Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set is designed to solve.
Why the Factory Setup Falls Short
Tesla’s large, heavy, high-torque sedans and SUVs place enormous demands on their rear suspension. From the factory, rear toe and camber are set with negative values, and the stock arms allow only a narrow window of adjustment. For many owners, even a professional alignment performed within factory specifications doesn’t fully eliminate uneven wear, because the adjustment range simply isn’t wide enough to dial the geometry into a truly tire-friendly configuration. Add any aftermarket lowering, whether coilovers or lowering links, and the problem compounds. Ride-height changes push rear camber further negative and throw toe out of its ideal range, accelerating wear even faster.
Toe is often the real tire killer. Even a small amount of unwanted toe-out scrubs the inner tread with every mile, and on a vehicle this heavy with instant electric torque, that wear adds up quickly. Owners also report that the factory rear links and bushings become a known weak point with age and mileage, contributing to rear-end clunks, highway wandering, and inconsistent alignment over time.
The Unplugged Performance Solution
Our Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arms give you precise, repeatable control over rear toe so you can bring your alignment into the range that actually protects your tires and sharpens your handling. CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum, these arms are dramatically stronger and more rigid than the components they replace, delivering crisp, consistent geometry that holds its setting mile after mile.
Whether you’re a daily driver simply trying to stop burning through expensive tires, an enthusiast who has lowered their car and needs to correct the resulting geometry, or a track-focused owner chasing a precise, repeatable alignment, these arms make it possible. Pairing them with adjustable camber arms and a proper professional alignment is the complete, proven approach the Tesla community has converged on for finally putting the inner-tire-wear problem to rest.
Built to Unplugged Performance Standards
As the world’s leading Tesla performance brand, Unplugged Performance engineers every component to OEM-plus standards of fit, finish, and durability. These toe arms are built to withstand the unique loads of Tesla’s instant-torque drivetrain and heavy curb weight, giving you confidence that your alignment will stay locked in whether you’re commuting, carving canyons, or setting lap times.

What does a rear toe arm do on a Tesla Model S?
A rear toe arm sets how far the back of each rear tire points in or out relative to straight ahead, which controls stability and how evenly the tires wear. The factory Model S arm is fixed length, so your alignment shop can only work with whatever toe the car came with. This billet adjustable set lets a technician dial rear toe to spec, which matters most after lowering or when chasing precise handling.
Does this rear toe arm set fit a 2015 Model X?
Yes. This set covers the 2012-2020 Model S and the 2015-2020 Model X, so a 2015 Model X is within range. It uses the original mounting points and does not fit the 2021+ refreshed Model S or Model X, which use a different rear suspension. If you are unsure which generation you have, check the model year against those windows before ordering.
Will these work on a 2021 Model S Plaid?
No. This toe arm set is built for the 2012-2020 Model S and 2015-2020 Model X only. The 2021 and newer Plaid cars changed the rear suspension geometry and need a different part. For those cars we make a separate 2021+ Model S / Model S Plaid toe arm designed around the newer chassis.
Why would I need adjustable toe arms after lowering my Model S?
Lowering a Model S changes rear suspension angles, and toe usually shifts along with ride height. If the rear toe ends up off, the car can feel nervous and the tires scrub away tread fast. Adjustable arms give the alignment tech the range to bring toe back to a correct setting at the lower stance, instead of leaving it wherever the drop put it.
Are these worth it for a car that mostly sees track days?
For track use they open up real tuning freedom. Rear toe strongly affects corner entry stability and how the car rotates, and the fixed factory arm gives you none of that latitude. With these you can set a small amount of toe-in for a planted rear or experiment for sharper turn-in. UP built these for greater freedom in alignment settings and better on-track behavior, the kind of edge that pays off during a TeslaCorsa Track Day Experience.
Do I really need an alignment rack after fitting these toe arms?
Yes, and that is the step most people should not skip or eyeball. Swapping the arms is a moderate job on its own: raise the rear, remove the old arm, thread in the adjustable one. But rear toe only lands correctly when a technician sets it on an alignment rack afterward. If you are near Los Angeles, our shop in Hawthorne can install and align them for you. Tell us at checkout and the team will follow up with pricing and a slot.
Toe arms or camber arms, which should I buy first for tire wear?
On the 2012-2020 Model S and Model X, uneven inner-edge wear is usually a camber problem first, so many owners start with the billet adjustable rear camber arm set and add toe arms for a complete alignment. Camber sets the tire’s lean, toe sets its aim. If your alignment printout shows rear toe out of range, or you have lowered the car, these toe arms are what brings that number back.
What are these toe arms made of?
They are machined from billet aluminum for a stiff, precise linkage that resists the flex you get from tired factory bushings. The adjustable design threads to length so a shop can set toe accurately and lock it in. At $645 for the set, they are a focused suspension part rather than a full kit, aimed at owners who want proper rear alignment control.
Could these adjustable arms cause trouble with a warranty claim later?
No, being aftermarket alone is not grounds to deny a claim. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Tesla would have to show that the part caused a specific failure before denying a related claim, so a toe arm installed and aligned correctly gives them little to point at. Keep your original arms so you can return to stock if you ever need to, and have the work done properly so alignment and torque are correct.
How soon do these ship?
This set is in stock and ships the next business day. Domestic orders move quickly, and we ship worldwide with the final rate shown at checkout. If you are ordering several suspension parts together, contact us first so we can sort freight and timing before the order goes through.
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.
