The front subframe is the foundation of your Tesla’s suspension,
steering, and drivetrain components—and the Front Subframe Support Assembly 1487485-S0-A (Left Hand) is the critical link that keeps this system anchored securely.
Engineered for precise fit and uncompromising strength, this
component ensures your Tesla maintains its signature handling and
safety, even under extreme driving conditions.
Crafted from high-tensile steel alloy, this support assembly is
built to withstand the immense forces exerted on the front subframe
during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Its reinforced design
includes:
- Thickened mounting flanges: Distributes stress evenly across the subframe and vehicle
chassis, preventing cracks or deformation.
- Integrated gussets: Adds rigidity to critical load-bearing points, ensuring the
subframe remains aligned even over potholes or rough terrain.
- Precision-drilled holes: Matches OEM bolt patterns exactly, guaranteeing a tight,
vibration-free fit with the subframe and chassis.
The steel undergoes a two-step corrosion protection process:
electrophoretic coating (e-coating) for deep, uniform coverage,
followed by a durable powder coat. This dual layer resists rust and
road salt, extending the component’s lifespan to match your Tesla’s
longevity.
The front subframe support is far more than a "bracket"—it’s a
safety-critical part that impacts:
- Suspension alignment: By stabilizing the subframe, it ensures wheel angles (camber,
toe, caster) remain within factory specs, preserving responsive
steering and even tire wear.
- Drivetrain efficiency: Prevents excessive movement of the front motor (in dual-motor
models), reducing energy loss and maintaining smooth power
delivery.
- Crash safety: In frontal impacts, it helps distribute force through the
chassis, protecting the cabin and critical components like the
battery.
A worn or damaged support can lead to symptoms like uneven tire
wear, steering vibration, or clunking noises over bumps—all of
which compromise driving safety and comfort.
This left-hand support assembly is a direct OEM replacement,
engineered to fit without modifications. Installation highlights
include:
- Drop-in compatibility: Uses existing bolts and mounting points, so no welding or
drilling is required.
- Alignment marks: Factory-etched indicators help technicians position the support
accurately, ensuring subframe geometry is restored to Tesla’s exact
standards.
- Professional-grade hardware: Compatible with Tesla’s torque specifications (typically 85-100
Nm for mounting bolts), ensuring a secure fit that won’t loosen
over time.
Whether replacing a corroded original or upgrading after an impact,
this assembly integrates seamlessly with your Tesla’s front end.
Backed by a 24-month warranty, the 1487485-S0-A support assembly is
tested to exceed automotive industry standards, including:
- 500-hour salt spray testing (ASTM B117) for corrosion resistance.
- Dynamic load testing (1.5x maximum design load) to validate
strength.
- Vibration testing to ensure no loosening under prolonged use.
For Tesla owners, this component isn’t just a replacement part—it’s
an investment in maintaining your vehicle’s performance, safety,
and resale value.
Trust the 1487485-S0-A Front Subframe Support Assembly to keep your
Tesla’s front end anchored, aligned, and ready for every mile.
Precision engineering, unmatched strength, and Tesla-grade
reliability—all in one critical component.
