The Foundation of Stable, Smooth Rides
Your Tesla Model S or X is engineered for precision—from its
electric motors to its aerodynamic design. But even the most
advanced suspension system relies on small, critical components
like the 1027451-00-FCT rear lower control arm bushing. Designed
exclusively for 2012-2023 Model S and 2015-2023 Model X, this
bushing is the buffer between your rear lower control arm and the
chassis, absorbing road shocks, stabilizing wheel alignment, and
ensuring every turn, brake, and bump feels controlled.
A worn rear lower bushing doesn’t just make rides bumpy—it
compromises safety. It’s the reason your Tesla might drift on
highways, wear tires unevenly, or feel “loose” over rough terrain.
This bushing fixes that, restoring the tight, smooth handling you
expect from a Tesla.
- Shock Absorption: Made from high-performance rubber, it soaks up impacts from
potholes, curbs, and uneven roads—so you don’t feel every jolt in
the cabin.
- Alignment Stability: Holds the rear lower control arm in precise position, ensuring
your wheels stay parallel and centered. No more “pulling” to one
side or uneven tire tread wear.
- Noise Reduction: Blocks metal-on-metal contact between the control arm and
chassis, eliminating annoying clunks, squeaks, or rattles when
turning or braking.
- Flex Without Fail: Flexes just enough to let the control arm move with the
suspension (during dips or swells in the road) but stays rigid
enough to prevent excessive movement—critical for high-speed
stability.
Don’t ignore these red flags—they mean your suspension is
struggling:
- Clunking Noises: A “thud” or “rattle” from the rear when going over bumps,
turning, or braking. This is worn rubber letting metal parts grind
together.
- Loose Handling: Your Tesla feels “wobbly” at high speeds, or takes longer to
steady after a turn. The bushing can’t keep the control arm stable
anymore.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Bald spots on the inner edges of your rear tires (a sure sign of
misalignment caused by a failing bushing).
- Vibration in the Cabin: Rattling felt through the seats or floor, even on smooth roads.
The bushing isn’t blocking road vibrations like it should.
Aftermarket bushings use soft rubber that cracks in 30k miles—this
one is built for Tesla’s weight and performance:
- Tesla-Specific Engineering: The rubber compound is calibrated to handle the weight of Model
S/X (up to 5,800 lbs). It won’t compress or warp under heavy loads,
unlike generic parts.
- Steel-Reinforced Core: A rigid steel sleeve prevents the bushing from deforming, keeping
the control arm aligned even during hard braking or sharp turns.
- Weatherproof: Resists oil, road salt, and UV damage—critical for rear
suspension parts exposed to rain, snow, and debris.
- Perfect Fit: Exact dimensions match your original bushing, so installation
requires no trimming or modification.
- 1x Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing (1027451-00-FCT)
- Digital installation guide with torque specs (90 Nm for mounting
bolts) and step-by-step photos
- Pro tip: Replace in pairs (left and right) for balanced suspension
performance—add two to your cart!
Note: Professional installation recommended. Requires a press tool
to safely remove the old bushing and seat the new one—ensures
proper alignment and prevents premature failure.
Don’t Let a Small Part Ruin Your Tesla’s Ride
A worn rear lower bushing turns your smooth Tesla into a noisy,
unstable ride. This one brings back that “new car” feel—tight
handling, quiet cabins, and even tire wear.
