Six complete front arms for Model S (2012–early 2021)
This is a front-only refresh: both steel upper arms, both forward lower (fore) arms, and both rearward lower (aft) arms. It is not an upper-arm-only kit, not an 8-piece hardware kit, and it does not fit 2021+ Plaid / new Model S, or Model X / 3 / Y.
- 6 complete arm assemblies with ball joints and bushings already pressed in
- Aftermarket parts built to the Tesla OE numbers below — not a Tesla Service Center boxed original unless the packing says so
- Bolts, alignment, rear arms, sway-bar links, and tie rods are not included. Photos show six arms only — we do not pack eccentric bolt 2007106 unless it is in the box you receive
- Most 2012–2021 Model S cars use air suspension. A lift and Tesla Jack Mode are expected. Shop time is typically half a day plus a 4-wheel alignment
- Uninstalled quality issues: 30-day exchange. Installed parts are not returnable for change of mind — see our
What's in the box
Match these numbers to the stamp on your arms. The two black arms are stamped-steel uppers. The four silver arms are the lower fore and aft links. Model X uses different uppers — do not order this kit for an X.
| Qty | Part (plain name) | OE on this kit | Also fits if your stamp is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Front upper arm, left (steel) | 1043965-00-A | 1043965-00-B. RWD cars often show 6006532-00-A / B (same position) |
| 1 | Front upper arm, right (steel) | 1043966-00-A | 1043966-00-B. RWD cars often show 6008930-00-A / B |
| 2 | Front lower rearward / aft arm (same part left or right) | 1027351-00-C | 1027351-00-D / E or 1048951-00-A / B / C (later letter of the same aft arm) |
| 1 | Front lower forward / fore arm, left | 1041570-00-B | 1041570-00-A or 6007998-00-C. Not 1420341 |
| 1 | Front lower forward / fore arm, right | 1041575-00-B | 1041575-00-A or 6006664-00-C. Not 1420346 |
Will this fit?
Look at the stamp on the arms. Year helps, stamp decides. Same OE worldwide for this generation — no US / EU / China split.
Model S · 2012–early 2021
RWD and AWD / Dual Motor when stamps match the table, including upper 6006532 / 6008930 and aft 1048951.
Late 2021 VIN or 1420 lower arms

Plaid or Model X / 3 / Y
2021+ Plaid / new Model S uses upper 1420321 / 1420326. Model X shares some lowers but uses different uppers — use the .
Install notes
Enable Jack Mode before you lift the car. If you torque the inner bushing bolts with the wheels hanging, the new rubber is pre-twisted and can tear early. Set ride height, then torque. Tesla uses a ride-height tool on the upper arm. Replace one-time lock nuts. Then a 4-wheel alignment. Camber on the aft arm is often set with eccentric bolt 2007106 from Tesla’s parts list — not included in this kit.
| Joint | Typical Tesla spec | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Upper arm to knuckle | 60 Nm | Replace the lock nut |
| Upper arm to body | 68 Nm | From Tesla Model S service procedure; use the ride-height tool |
| Lower arms to knuckle / subframe | See current service manual | Value depends on the bolt. Always at ride height. |
Most independent shops book half a day plus a 4-wheel alignment on air-suspension cars. A lift is expected. Torque figures above are from Tesla service information for 2012–2020 Model S — confirm on the manual for your VIN before you tighten anything.
Why replace the set
Clunks, wander, inner tire wear
Worn front bushings and ball joints let the wheel move under braking and over bumps. Refreshing left and right together keeps the geometry even.
No press required
These are complete arms. This kit is the no-press, full-arm route for a pre-Plaid Model S front end.
