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.
