Rear Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly – 2012-2015
REAR Non-Air Suspension — Tesla Model S – Rear Shock Absorber Pair (RWD, w/o ADS) — 2012–2016
Model S (2012–2016) • Rear (LH+RH) • RWD • Non-Air (coil) • w/o ADS
Sold as a Pair • Qty required per vehicle: 1 pair
OE-style Rear Shock Absorbers (Non-Air / Coil Suspension) for Tesla Model S. Direct-fit replacements for non-adaptive (no ADS) RWD cars, covering both left and right sides. Restores proper rear damping, improves stability over bumps, and reduces bounce/squat under acceleration. After installation, we set rear toe and camber to OE specifications.
Why these fail
Oil seepage or gas fade causing excessive rebound and “bouncy” rear ride.
Piston-rod wear from torn dust boots allowing debris to nick seals.
Worn upper mounts/bushings creating clunks over expansion joints.
High-mileage heat cycling that weakens valving and extends stopping distances.
Impact damage (potholes/curbs) bending rods and accelerating seal failure.
Our solution
Application-matched valving to maintain factory ride/handling balance.
New gas-charged dampers with fresh seals; optional new mounts and hardware.
Direct bolt-in; includes both LH and RH shocks. No core required.
Pair replacement ensures balanced damping across the rear axle.
After install: torque at ride height and align rear suspension.

Service & Coverage
Maintenance Tip: Torque all fasteners at normal ride height, inspect/replace upper mounts and dust boots, and perform a 4-wheel alignment (rear toe/camber) to prevent edge wear and ensure straight-line stability.
