Model X - Adjustable Camber arms to reduce rear tire wear

[dhondu_singh]

Where do I buy the read camber kits? I have a 2016 MX. I found these 2 options, and looking for any reviews/experience using any of them. The price difference is significant so am not sure which one is the right one and safe one.

I went with n2itive, I see you are in the Bay Area, there is a shop in San Jose that has installed many of these so they know what they are doing.

Hardrace are with pillow block which is more sensitive for wear and bad road conditions and also could generate more noise inside.
N2itive is with rubber bushings better for wear and noise.
I have installed Unplugged Performance links, also with rubber bushings, like them better than N2itive.

I believe there is also an option from Macsboost Racing, they make them for the Model S and should be for the X as well.

I have Macsboost on my S and N2itive on the X. Happy with both, but the alignment tech did say that the adjustment on the Macsboost is in a bad location to get at it with tools, very hard to adjust in place.

I think ZEVCentric in Fremont potentially carries these in stock, and they do installation. Big fan of that place -- had them replace some bushings and control arms on my Model 3.

I have heard good things about The Driveway in San Jose

 

[geordi]

But "Do you know the way to San Jose?"

Is this required for 2020 Model X with asume they are updated Raven suspension? Pl confirm

100% of the Model Xs have this issue

 

[AjrUleZ]

Wow why don’t they fix it.

Yes I got mine done here. They’ve done a lot of these so they know how to install. I think after install there were issues with alignment due to directions given by n2itive. They fixed it right away and notified n2itive about it.

The install is straight forward. The only kind of weird thing is the subframe bolt orientation that requires you to cut the bolt

 

[BobX]

I agree with ngng-- install is straight forward. My son and I did the install ourselves on our X's. Need super quality blade to cut the bolt. Took a few visits to alignment shops to find one that would use specs provided by N2itive. Aligning the car to Tesla specs accomplishes nothing as the spec, in particular for camber, is much too wide.

Inside wear has always been an issue when suspension is set to low or very low. I guess I was lucky with our 2018 with over 92K miles. I never seen a odd wear pattern. Now our 2023 may be different. I'm also keeping the setting to low so to help with CV vibration issues.

It's not a safety issue

 

[rstx]

Wow why don’t they fix it.

it does seem odd why they dont just have stock camber arms with larger adjustment options. In the grand scheme would not be a huge cost difference to them. helps drivability, efficiency, obv tire wear etc

because none of those things affect them,

I mean kinda if ppl like me cancel their order due to the issue

lol go for it, they don't even know you exist

 

[rstx]

did you mean we exist? Who do you think they care about more, someone that has an old X or someone thats about to buy one? I would argue they should care about both.
