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.

- 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.
