Sold individually • Qty required per vehicle: 2
OE-style Front Shock Absorber (Non-Air / Coil Suspension) for Tesla Model S front axle. Direct-fit replacement for non-adaptive (no ADS) RWD cars, left or right side. Restores proper damping control, reduces bounce and nose-dive, and tightens steering feel. After installation, we set alignment to OE specifications.
Why these fail
Internal wear, oil seepage, or loss of gas charge causing excessive rebound/bounce.
Pitted or bent piston rods from pothole/curb strikes leading to seal damage.
Worn upper mounts/bearings creating clunks while turning or over bumps.
Degraded bump stops/dust boots letting debris score the shaft and seals.
High-mileage heat cycling that fades damping and extends stopping distances.
Our solution
Application-matched valving to maintain factory ride/handling balance.
New gas-charged damper with fresh seals; optional new mounts and hardware.
Direct bolt-in for LH/RH front positions; no core required.
Pair replacement recommended (both fronts) to keep damping balanced.
After install: torque fasteners at ride height and perform alignment.
