Outer CV Joint - Rear L/R for Tesla Model Y | TL-5002

Product Overview

Key Specifications

Core Advantages for Model Y Rear Performance

• EV-Specific Durability: Built to handle the instant, high torque of Tesla’s rear electric motor, the chrome-molybdenum steel raceway and forged housing resist wear, pitting, and deformation—even during aggressive acceleration, regenerative braking, or heavy loads.
• Silent, Smooth Operation: Precision-ground balls and cage ensure even torque distribution, eliminating clicking, popping, or vibration during turns, acceleration, or uneven road conditions. This preserves the Model Y’s quiet cabin and refined driving experience.
• Enhanced Contamination Protection: The heavy-duty TPE boot forms an airtight seal, while stainless steel clamps prevent loosening over time. The included high-temperature grease (stable at 190°C) resists breakdown, keeping internal components lubricated and protected from dirt, water, and road salt.
• Drop-in Fit: Engineered to match Model Y’s rear axle dimensions exactly, requiring no modifications. Seamlessly integrates with existing rear driveshafts and wheel hubs, reducing installation time for professionals.

When to Replace

• Clicking during turns: Indicates worn ball bearings or damaged raceways, which can lead to power loss or uneven wear.
• Vibration under acceleration: Signals uneven torque transfer, often caused by worn components in the rear drivetrain.
• Boot damage (cracks/tears): Allows contaminants to enter, accelerating joint wear—replace immediately to avoid costly rear axle damage.

Installation Guidelines

• Professional Fit Recommended: Requires removal of the rear wheel, axle, and old joint. Proper seating of the new joint and secure clamping of the boot are critical to prevent grease leakage and ensure longevity.
• Pro Tip: Always replace the full assembly (joint + boot + grease) rather than just patching a torn boot—partial repairs risk premature failure, especially in high-torque rear applications.
• Balanced Replacement: For optimal performance, replace left and right rear joints together, especially if the vehicle has over 80,000 miles.
