From the factory, Tesla Model S and Model X cars come with two major design flaws that cause a front end shudder or vibration and shorten rear tire life.

The first design flaw is noticed under hard acceleration and presents itself as a shudder, vibration or sometimes extreme shaking coming from the front of the vehicle. This shudder occurs because of internal damage to the front half-shafts. The damage happens because the angle of the front half-shafts or drive axles between the motor and the wheels is too steep and causes extreme tension and binding within the half-shaft. This binding will damage and deform portions of your half-shafts’ internals and leave you with what’s been commonly referred to as acceleration shudder. The only solution from Tesla’s Service Centers is to put the car’s suspension in “Low”. However this then exacerbates the second design flaw where the rear wheels tilt too far inwards. The Tesla Model S and X are already known to wear out the rear tires on the inside edge due to excessive negative camber, or wheels tilting inwards from the top. Lowering the suspension setting makes the wheels tilt in even further! This causes more the weight of the car to rest on the inner shoulder of the wheel. Driving this way quickly wears down the inside edge of the rear tires which can cause a sudden and unexpected dangerous blowout.

These two problems are by far the most talked about issues in the online Tesla groups. Fortunately, these design flaws are correctable with N2itive’s adjustable suspension components. N2itive's Alignment Kit 1 can automatically set the car to a lower height to reduce premature half-shaft/CV joint wear and accompanying acceleration shudder and allow the rear wheels to be properly aligned to eliminate the common inner tire wear problem. All while staying within Tesla’s alignment specifications. This is important for the proper functioning of the vehicle and for your safety.

N2itive gives you the highest quality parts and craftsmanship at a reasonable price. Everything they create is meticulously well thought-out, precision engineered and FEA and real-world tested! We are the first and only company to make our camber arms where the threaded adjustment rod remains both on-axis and away from the center of the arm. This improves the strength of the arms by over 40%! That’s important with the extreme weight of a Tesla. No one else has this. All of our components are custom made. Nothing is off the shelf. Take their spherical bushings for instance, made with high strength steel that’s been electroless nickel plated for amazing wear and corrosion resistance. Each bushing incorporates a Teflon infused Delrin liner for a lifetime of trouble-free, maintenance-free use. You can count on us to only give you the best with all our parts and we back that up with a 6-year hassle-free warranty to the original purchaser. N2itive's products are the strongest, safest and most durable aftermarket Tesla parts you can buy, guaranteed! Not to mention, they look incredible.

N2itive - Alignment Kit 1 – Inner Tire Wear- Tesla Model S/Model X Plaid​

N2itive-AlignmentKit1-AccelerationShudder_InnerTireWear-TeslaModelS_ModelX1_1200x1200.jpg

N2itive’s Alignment Kit 1 was designed to address the common acceleration shudder and inner tire wear issues that plague the Tesla Model S and X. An online poll suggests that approximately 70% of Model X’s have suffered from the acceleration shudder issue alone. There is currently no permanent fix from Tesla. N2itive’s Alignment Kit 1 will reduce the premature wear on your half-shafts (drive axles) to help prevent the onset of this problem. This kit allows your half-shafts to be more on-axis with your wheels to reduce binding that causes damage.

If your Tesla X or S suffers from the inner tire wear issues, this same kit will completely eliminate this problem and allow you to achieve up to 2-3x more life out of your rear tires. Furthermore your Tesla will have improved handling and responsiveness, and improved aerodynamics, efficiency and mileage. This is currently not possible with the factory supplied non-adjustable control arms and suspension parts. All our products are made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship for years of endurance and come with any necessary hardware for a complete installation. A 6-year to lifetime warranty is included.

N2itive - Alignment Kit 2 – Inner Tire Wear- Tesla Model S/Model X Plaid​

N2itive-AlignmentKit2-AccelerationShudder_InnerTireWear-TeslaModelS_ModelX1_1200x1200.jpg

N2itive’s Alignment Kit 2 was designed to address the common inner tire wear issues that plague the Tesla Model S and X. Also with Tesla’s current recommendation to drive with the suspension in the “Low” setting to avoid damage to your half-shafts, this makes inner rear tire wear even worse. With our alignment kit (camber kit) you get both of our high performance SX-1 adjustable camber arms and our TSX-1 adjustable toe arms with 5x greater extended toe adjustment over factory. N2itive’s Alignment Kit 2 will completely eliminate inner and uneven tire wear, 100%! All necessary hardware for a complete installation is included. Our alignment kits are a complete drop-in replacement for the original Tesla rear camber and toe arms and come preset to the length of the original arms.
The alignment kit can be installed by the experienced home mechanic or from a local alignment shop that has experience with aftermarket control arms. These parts will quickly pay for themselves in the cost of tires alone. Now you can double or triple your tire life depending on how bad your inner tire wear problem is. We can help you every step of the way, from selecting the right N2itive parts to finding an installer. Just let us know. We’re here to help and get your Tesla aligned right and keep it safe to drive. All our products are made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship for years of endurance and come with an unmatched 6-year warranty.

The difference between our Alignment Kit 1 and Kit 2 is with their RSX-1 lowering links. This kit (Alignment Kit 2) does not contain the RSX-1 lowering links. Kit 1 does.

Both of these adjustable control arms are installed in place of your current rear control arms to set a perfectly symmetrical alignment. The end result is a car with, significantly improved tire wear, far better handling and agility. Installing our kit will pay for itself many times over during the time you own your Tesla in the cost of tires alone. If you suffer from the inner tire wear issue that so many of us have then you could easily double or triple your tire life. Beyond that, the safety factor alone is worth it! Everything you need is included in the kit. Installation can be performed by the experienced home mechanic or you can take it to a local alignment shop that has experience with installing and aligning adjustable control arms.

N2itive’s Alignment Kit 2 comes in two variations. Both of the adjustable control arms in the kit come with custom made spherical and annular bushings. The first version is fabricated primarily of heat treated automotive grade aluminum and anodized in a matte red with great corrosion resistance. The upgraded version is based off of a heat treated aerospace grade aluminum which has almost double the ultimate tensile strength over our heat treated automotive grade aluminum. In addition to being substantially stronger, this version has an amazing bright nickel black plating finish for improved corrosion resistance and insane looks. Either way you can’t go wrong. Both versions are stronger than any other brand, including Tesla. After purchase please have the installer and alignment shop visit our installation pages to make sure they install and align the kit correctly!

N2itive - ARTAN SX-P2 Forged Adjustable Rear Upper Camber Arms - Tesla Model S/Model X Plaid​

N2itive-ARTANSX-P2ForgedAdjustableRearUpperCamberArms-TeslaModelS_ModelXPlaid3_1200x1200.jpg
N2itive’s brand new, highly anticipated, high pressure forged adjustable rear camber arms are now available at a special discounted price. Now you can have the ideal alignment for both track or street without the need to visit the alignment shop every time you want to make a change. With our new multi-alignment kit that comes standard and preinstalled on the black version, you now have the ability to recall any alignment setting you choose. You can create one setting for the track, one for the drag strip and another for street. Make your adjustments on site and change your settings back to your street setting when it’s time to go home. The multi-alignment kit also helps with the installation process.

For street only driving, you’ll find the anodized version of our new SX-P2 adjustable rear camber arms for the refreshed 2021 and later Tesla S and X especially critical in dialing in a good alignment for perfectly even tire wear. The Tesla software now forces your car to ride in the low position at highway speeds. This causes even more increased negative camber which eats away at the inner edge of your tires. Also if you’re planning to drive your Plaid or Long Range Tesla in the lower suspension settings full time or if you are using lowering links, these adjustable camber arms are a must. Our SX-P2 arms will allow you to greatly extend tire life and quickly pay for themselves in the cost of one pair of rear tires. There aren’t that many products you can buy with that substantial of a return on investment as these new arms. The SX-P2 arms are a direct drop-in replacement for the original Tesla rear upper camber arms and come preset to the length of the OEM non-adjustable arms. All our products are made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship for years of endurance and come with an unmatched 6-year to lifetime warranty. Our new patent pending design makes these arms super easy to adjust for a quick hassle-free alignment with the wheels on!

N2itive - RSX-2 TARTAN Ride Height Adjustment Lowering Link Set - Tesla Model S/Model X​

N2itive-RSX-2OriginalPerformanceRideHeightAdjustmentLoweringLinkSet-TeslaModelSModelX2_a27ddfbd-1f46-452c-aeea-ea803a33a557_1200x1200.jpg
N2itive is #1 in lowering links for the new Tesla Model S and X. Our new performance RSX-2 TARTAN lowering links, fit all refreshed 2021 and later Tesla Model S and X cars! They are by far the most popular lowering links on the market for the new Plaid and Long Range. N2itve offers the most advanced features for lowering links in the world, with extreme precision and reliability. The TARTAN version of our RSX-2 lowering links are designed exclusively for the new Tesla Model S/X Plaid as well as all refreshed Long Range (non-Plaid) 2021 and later Tesla Model S and X vehicles. They will not fit the older 2012-2020 Tesla S and X vehicles. You would want the non-TARTAN version of our RSX-2 lowering links for the older Teslas.

With RSX-2 links, you set them once and you’re done. The RSX-2 precision Vernier scale makes adjustment super easy and fast! There is no need to remove the links and go back and re-adjust with a caliper as with most adjustable links. When quality, craftsmanship and adjustability matter, our performance TARTAN RSX-2 lowering links are the only choice. 6-year warranty included.

N2itive’s new performance TARTAN RSX-2 ride height adjustment lowering links are the most advanced in the world. Our links allow you to fully retain your active suspension dampening and software ride height adjustability with every setting now being a little lower than before. The TARTAN version of our RSX-2 lowering links are designed to fit the new 2021 and later Tesla Plaid S and X as well as all refreshed non-Plaid Long Range 2021 and later Tesla Model S and X vehicles. Please note that there were some Tesla produced in early 2021 that have the older suspension design. If in doubt please contact us first.

Beyond lowering brackets, our super precision performance tuners allow you to tweak the length of the link down to 1/10 of a millimeter. You’re never forced into one setting. You choose the height you want. Each link has a Vernier scale built-in so you always know what length you’re at and can easily assure all links are at the exact same setting for a super precise ride height. No need to use a caliper every time you want to change your height. Our links offer the ability to do a subtle drop or a completely slammed drop of your Model S or X. The TARTAN RSX-2 ride height adjustment links/lowering links come with a 6-year warranty. Each set comes with 4 links. Installation takes only 30 minutes by the home mechanic.

Please note that installing lowering links on your Tesla could cause inner tire wear if you don’t also install our adjustable SX-P2 camber arms to reduce the excess negative camber that occurs when lowering the car. Inner tire wear can cause an unexpected blowout! Please keep an eye on your inner rear tires especially! And follow our alignment specs.

5 Reasons To Choose Our Performance RSX-2 Tesla S/X Lowering Links
  • Dial in the right height for you: N2itive’s adjustable lowering links for the Tesla S/X allow uber precise adjustment down to 1/10thmm that can easily be replicated on all links. Just rotate the adjustment dial to match the same number setting. No need to unplug/disconnect the links first. Easily adjust them while they’re in the car! With other adjustment links you have no practical way of knowing what setting you’re at or how long the individual links are. It’s a guessing game that can leave one side of the vehicle higher than the other. This is a common frustration when lowering a Tesla. Meaning you have to go back and jack up the car, remove the wheels, make the adjustment, put the wheels back on and then measure to make sure you have the height correct and all sides are even. Until now this would have to be done multiple times to get it right. With the RSX-2 links you can set it once and your done. We designed these links to be super quick, easy and accurate.
  • Super simple locking mechanism: We have a single setscrew that allows you to easily make adjustments with a single 1.5mm Allen wrench which is included in the box. So in other words, to change the length of your links you slightly loosen the Allen screw, dial in the new ride height setting you want and then re-tighten the Allen screw. With other adjustment links you’ll need to remove the links first and then use two wrenches to loosen two separate locking nuts per link, then make the length adjustment not really knowing how long the link is without a caliper, then re-tighten both locking nuts again and hope you got the correct and even height all around the vehicle.
  • Easy calibration: If you ever need to have your sensors re-calibrated from Tesla at some point, our links can easily be reset to “0” which is the factory length. Then after calibration they can quickly be set back to whatever lowered setting you previously had. No other lowering links offer this and most lowering brackets would need to be removed and replaced with the original brackets before re-calibration was done.
  • Design & Quality: Our thought process on our performance RSX-2 lowering links was to use the highest quality materials and a really well thought out design to create something from the ground up. We wanted to create something that was really nice both in function and aesthetics, especially being that they’re made for a the most amazing cars on earth.
  • Corrosion resistance. All parts are either anodized or electroless nickel plated and have Viton® seals to prevent water/salt intrusion for the longest durability.
Please note that lowering your Tesla brings the vehicle closer to the ground which could potentially make the undercarriage including the battery more vulnerable to damage. While we haven’t had any complaints we wanted to give you a heads up of the possibility. N2itive, LLC is not responsible for any damage caused to your vehicle.
