FAQ

Is this only the upper arms?

No. It contains six front arms: two steel uppers, two rearward lowers and two forward lowers. It does not include rear arms, sway-bar links, tie rods or eccentric bolts.

Does it fit the 2021+ Plaid or new Model S?

No. Plaid and the 2021+ new Model S use 1420321 and 1420326 uppers and a different lower set. The stamp on the arm decides, not the calendar year alone.

Does it fit the Model X?

No. The Model X shares some lower numbers but uses different uppers, so use the Model X kit.

Are these genuine Tesla-boxed parts?

These are aftermarket assemblies made to the listed Tesla OE references, with stamped-steel upper arms. They are not presented as Tesla Service Center boxed originals.

Are bolts and alignment included?

No. The package is six complete arm assemblies. Bolts, one-time nuts and the 2007106 eccentric bolt are not included; the workshop must arrange the required fasteners and alignment.
