Tesla Model X 2016-2020 - Installing Camber Arms to eliminate inner tire wear - N2itive

[@Ib5234]

Hi, where are you located and how much does it cost? I’ve been replacing tires and tired of it.

[@AustinEVonly]

Austin, TX. Please contact me @ www.austinEVonly.com for pricing.

[@loungelizard836]

Great job showing complete installation, torques, etc!

[@ShowandDrift]

For the lowering links on the plastic to plastic you can heat it up the link slightly with a heat gun and it pops off easier

[@loungelizard836]

I like that you do your own work first.

[@LanceJDanks]

My 2023 tesla X has steering wheel vibration above 65mph. I have taken it back numerous times to Tesla service. They replaced all 4 tires, road balance and did an alignment, yet it still vibrates. I was informed that is now within Tesla specifications. Beyond disappointing.

[@AustinEVonly]

The N2itive is meant to prevent wear that leads to shaking. It doesn't stop shaking once it starts.

[@LanceJDanks]

@@AustinEVonly yes I'm aware of that, just pointing out others suspension issues with the X.

[@SihamBelo-z4l]

Seems to be such a tedious process! I definitely don’t want to try that on my own!

[@cuinican1980]

What's up with a 1 year update on the tires since this video.

[@loungelizard836]

I have air suspension on my Model S. The tires are wearing out at 5000 miles! completely due to inner tire wear. Will this fix the problem?

[@ivandrusc8658]

Yes it will help. I know it's ridiculous how we have to fix the design

[@drewjones3601]

Why didn't you put the locktight on when assembling the bolts and nuts.

[@BIGKickz23]

do you need to replace the toe or can you just replace the camber arm

[@AustinEVonly]

Good question. IDK TBH. The factory toe arms have very little adjustability. I have not tried to replace only the camber arms and lowering links without also doing the toe arms. I'm honestly not sure if the factory toe arms have enough adjustability to bring the wheels within spec after adjusting the camber and ride height.

[@thedivinemercychoir46]

I sow some ppl change only the camber

[@idjr2654]

Hi, can you recommend someone in Chicago to do this work for me? Thanks

[@bjarneborresen6012]

Still waiting on my X but I’ve seen a lot of info about this being a known issue. Do you have any idea about the vehicle warranty after these have been installed? Will Tesla void the warranty since this is an after market part ?

[@stevent7783]

Tesla can not void your warranty but they will not align the car with after market parts

[@ionescualin1112]

you do not need to cut that bolt. the corect way is to lose the 2 screws, on that side, that holds the back motor ansambly until you have the posibility to take out that bolt.

[@AustinEVonly]

Please make a video showing how to do this. Post link here in the comments. I'll wait. Until then, you are not just wrong. Everyone is stupider for reading your comment.

[@loungelizard836]

Carbide is the bomb! F'ing "hardened" steel aren't worth sh*t. Good call on using the carbide.

[@vidyashankars]

Great video. I had steering wheel vibration and the whole vehicle pulsating at low speeds. The Tesla tech made me change 2 tires already because of uneven tire wear. Would what you've shown in this video fix the issue permanently?

[@Mohamedalameeri_]

I didnt get it. You are using the same measurement of old camber; then how does it help to eliminate the inner tire wear?!

[@AustinEVonly]

Later in the video, I take the Model X to get a 4 wheel alignment.

[@waqasazmat81]

Hey Austin QQ, 12:57 by flipping the toe arm 180 doesn't that compromise the weight and stress on the arm (chances of breaking)?

[@AustinEVonly]

Thanks for bringing this up. I had a lively discussion with the manufacturer about the optimal installation of the tow arm. So it's worth a pinned response. The end result is that the part was redesigned, so now, accessing the set screws is no longer an issue. In retrospect, I was wrong to install these tow arms with lateral flip. installing the arms this way allows the arms to make contact with the subframe under extreme deflection. I could have flipped them on their vertical access (and possibly longitudinally) and it would have been OK. The problem is that installing as designed (or any other way EXCEPT the way I did it) is suboptimal for accessing the set screws.

[@waqasazmat81]

thank you Austin for the response greatly appreciate your time. @@AustinEVonly

[@loungelizard836]

How is red grease different from black grease?

[@3113jp]

so did this eliminate the tire wear?

[@AustinEVonly]

I've done this a dozen times over the last two years. Not one customer has come back to complain so I assume that is a big YES, IT WORKS :-)

[@lukelewis8814]

Do you think that I the opposite of the lowering link (slightly longer) could be used to get the ride slightly higher when set to standard?

[@AustinEVonly]

Exactly. The LL go negative to lower the ride and positive to raise the ride height above standard.

[@Shkvarka]

the lighter arms are the better ride over bupms you have... With this n2itive arms, in case of crash you get damaged expensive subframe but no damage for arms... o_O

[@lucaskrause14]

How did you get the toe arm bolt back in

[@AustinEVonly]

Slide the bolt in so the threads are facing the front of the MX while holding nut in small space between the mounting bracket and the subframe. Good question. Thanks for watching.

[@jantohamne3886]

how is the ride comfort after switching to this?

[@AustinEVonly]

No change since we are not touching the air suspension. This is all about alignment. Nothing to do with shocks and springs.

[@giliwsapiandante8454]

How much will it cost me to upgrade my 2020 model x thank you

[@AustinEVonly]

DM me.

[@thanhcaousa]

@@AustinEVonly please pm me the cost to upgrade too. Model x 100d 2017. Thanks

[@johnnymcafee01]

I don't get it!!! With all the money a person spends on a tesla. This is a tesla flaw that the company knows about that could cost someone their lives. This is crazy!!!

[@loungelizard836]

[@loungelizard836]

Wood blocks? LoL! Yeah, if they are pine, you are a dead man! But Oak or any other quality wood is fine.
