Description
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALIGNMENT KIT 2 IS ONLY FOR 2012 – 2020 MODEL S & X. IT HAS BOTH CAMBER AND TOE ARMS. The are no Lowering Links in this Kit.
IF YOU HAVE A 2021 OR LATER S OR X THEN YOU ONLY NEED OUR SX-P2 CAMBER ARMS. 2021 AND LATER ALREADY COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH ADJUSTABLE TOE ARMS. 2021+ CHECK OUT THE TARTAN SX-P2 ARMS HERE
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-2 adjustable camber arms and our TSX-2 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, including our new square toe arm inserts to prevent alignment drift. 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. If you need anything, our customer support is always available. Contact us with any questions. We’re here to help!
Inner Tire Wear On The Model S and X
The difference between our Alignment Kit 1 and Kit 2 is with our RSX series lowering links. This kit (Alignment Kit 2) does not contain the RSX series lowering links. Kit 1 does. Kit 1 addresses both the acceleration shudder issue as well as inner rear tire wear. Kit 2 only addresses inner rear tire wear.
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, agility and reduced rolling resistance for better range. 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 common 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 standard version is fabricated primarily of a strong forged and heat treated high strength aluminum and anodized in a matte red or clear with great corrosion resistance. The upgraded version comes with our multi-alignment bracket on the camber arms plus a lifetime warranty. The finish for these arms is now a natural anodized finish. We are in the process of phasing out the electroless nickel plated finish. Either way you can’t go wrong. Both versions are stronger than any other brand, including OEM Tesla parts. After purchase please have the installer and alignment shop visit our installation pages to make sure they install and align the kit correctly! The alignment shop must follow our alignment specs to eliminate inner tire wear!
Why Choose N2ITIVE
When you support N2ITIVE, you’re not just getting the best aftermarket Tesla parts available, but you’re also helping us fund the next step in developing cutting edge innovation with intuitive functionality.  We give you the highest quality parts and craftsmanship at a reasonable price. Everything we create is meticulously well thought-out, precision engineered and FEA and real-world tested! We’re continually pushing forward with new innovation, like our patent-pending ride height compensation bracket. This allows your Tesla’s air suspension to maintain a constant ride height now matter how your alignment tech sets your alignment. Or additionally, our patent-pending multi-alignment scale which allows you to set multiple alignments without having to revisit the alignment shop. This is huge for those who like to race their Teslas on the track and then set a separate alignment for the street to save their tires from premature wear.
We are the first and only company to make our camber arm aluminum bodies, high pressure forged with drop forged one-piece rod ends. This improves the strength of the arms tremendously and eliminates any weld point that are notorious for catastrophic failure. 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 our spherical bushings for instance… made with high strength steel that’s been zinc/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 to lifetime hassle-free warranty to the original purchaser. Our products are the strongest, safest and most durable aftermarket Tesla parts you can buy, guaranteed! Not to mention, they look incredible. This is a taste our vision and the direction we will continue to follow. Thank you for supporting us!

UPDATE June-26-2022: Almost 2 years after installing the N2itive Kit. I have attached photos of my rear tires. They have about 10k miles on them. The last set lasted about 45k.
I am glad I purchased these. My Model X suffered from the famous front end shudder. I have had 5 sets of replacement front shafts and motor mounts installed, but the shudder was never totally gone. The guidance given to me was to set the suspension to low. The only problem with that is that the lower I set the car, the more it wore out the inner edge of the rear tires. Without trying to address the front end shudder by setting the suspension to low, the rear tires already had excessive negative camber that wears out the inner edge of the rear tires. These camber arms along with the toe arms allow you to totally take care of the issues and get the tires set at a good camber angle. I can now look forward to reasonable tire life.

I purchased the camber and toe arm set and had them installed recently on my Tesla Model S. I was sick and tired of running through expensive tires due to inner tire wear. I have my car lowered pretty low so lucky for me there was an affordable solution.
I saw them on display at EVFixme and thought they were so beautifully crafted and built solid. The anodized red metal was calling for me.
After installation and alignment I was shocked at how dialed in the car was. It was so smooth!
I recommend any of the products made by N2itive. The craftsmanship of the product and customer support is 2nd to none.

I’m a mechanic and have extensive experience working on Teslas. Last year I installed EV Tuning’s adjustable camber and toe arms on my Model S, but they are garbage. After about year I noticed that the negative camber had become quite extreme and the ride quality was not right. I took my back wheels off to review the EV Tuning arms and noticed the bushings were completely torn and not holding in place. All four bushings were destroyed after only 8-10K miles.
Fast forward I received my N2itive camber and toe arms and lowering links and I must say the craftsmanship is beyond incredible! Side by side there is no comparison. The quality is amazing. You get what you pay for and the customer support is great too. I’ve recommended N2itive parts to several Tesla owners!

Don is really something else! He goes above and beyond for his customers. Arms are top notch quality and couldnt be happier with the purchase. One thing I do recommend for anyone purchasing these arms is make sure you talk to the shop youre planning to take it to ahead of time to make sure they can accommodate working with these arms. Other than that THANK YOU SO MUCH DON FOR EVERYTHING

Hi Miguel,
Thank you for the kind review. Yes, as you mentioned not all shops will work with aftermarket suspension parts. We are always ready to assist and find local installers for our customers. If you need anything down the road, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you!

They finally came! Easy to install DIY at home, except for those toe bolts towards the battery. Sawzall is recommended. Too bad no one will see those beautiful arms!

I did a LOT of research looking for a solution for the rear uneven tire wear. I saw that N2itive products were recommended in the forums. I looked at the reviews and I even spoke with another N2itive customer that said he had tried other products and this one is the best. I even got to speak with Don, the owner/manufacturer, and he helped answer all of the many questions I had. He was even available when new questions came up throughout the process. He was also available for the automotive shop doing the install to answer their questions if they had any. Don and N2itive will take care of you and the product is top-notch. The ride in the car even feels better. 5 stars and highly recommend of course!

After doing some research on the rear inner side tire wear issue, I decided to give these a try. I do not have a lot of experience with aftermarket suspension parts so I was really happy that I got to speak directly with Don. He explained everything in great detail before I purchased, and gave me a great recommendation for a shop to do the install. After purchase and install, Don was still available to advise me on any issues that came up. There were no problems with the install or with the N2itive components. It was really great to have this kind of after purchase support, to answer all my questions mostly due to my own inexperience. The car drives noticeably better, and tire wear is now even across the tread as it should be. Thanks for the great product and great service. I highly recommend N2itive. They are definitely a company worth your business.

I ordered the alignment kit and I couldn’t be happier. The quality blew me away! I expected it to be high quality and it was better than expected.
The new lowering links are so easy to fine tune the ride height and quick and easy to adjust. Install for the entire kit install went incredibly smooth, the instructions were thorough, and the support was amazing. I’m beyond impressed with the parts, the ordering process, and the customer support.
I can’t recommend this enough. You absolutely need it for your Tesla.

This alignment kit that I bought made me drive a vehicle that I didn’t even know I had! When I first bought the Tesla 2015 P90 used in 2018, the first thing I asked the guy who was selling to me why it was shuddering upon acceleration. And I kept asking the question, why does it shudder? Years of having the vehicle, something just wasn’t quite right with the vehicle. This alignment kit made it right. Hands down, this was the best upgrade I ever did to the vehicle and I upgraded it after having to replace the front half shaft of the vehicle and realizing that this was a very common issue in the Tesla community. Most people that I do speak to about it are clueless how much better the handling, dead quiet acceleration and tire gripping benefits of having this alignment kit are. Even the Tesla tech that I took down the road to show him it was quiet when he realized that the tires were gripping the street way better than any Tesla. On top of that, the wheel when I turn is a lot more smoother and when I take off DEAD QUIET. No shudder, no nothing. When I take friends in the vehicle after I installed the alignment kit, it was EXTREMELY noticeable. The difference was this… Ever drive a Corolla? Now, let’s flip what I just told you. Ever rode in a train? The alignment kit takes you from feeling like you are driving a car to a railroad track. Yes, that smooth. In other words, when you do drive it’s like having a more stable boat. You are pretty much adjusting the vehicle in such a way that everything is perfectly even front to back and in layman’s terms, a car with better feet. One thing I will say that if you do plan on doing the alignment kit yourself, I would try to align the camber arm as much as possible before taking it into an alignment shop. If you are in San Diego, take it to Cherniss Tire World – they are familiar with it after I sent it to them. They are also a very good tire shop. Of note, if you do do it yourself MAKE SURE you get a torque wrench with a FLEX HEAD. You will not be able to tighten the bolts without it. Trust me I tried. And if you can get an angle impact driver like the ones that Milwaukee sells (Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12 V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Right Angle Impact Wrench) it will go a lot smoother when taking out the bolts. For cutting the bolt, I used a multi tool from Milwaukee and it barely fit so probably using a smaller multi tool would work better with a diamond. Now as far as customer service is concerned, I am pretty sure I asked Don more questions than he was paid money for. But big problems have big answers and hopefully get paid big money. This alignment kit took my car from a car that was built 80% right to a car that was 100%. Don deserves every penny he makes. He’s also fantastic at getting back to you with any questions you need.
One of the most important things I will mention, is there is a lot of focus on the problems with inner tire wear. That may be an issue but it is not by any means the greatest benefit. The greatest benefits I outlined above (greater traction, handling, dead quiet acceleration, etc.). It is the functionality of the vehicle that is drastically improved with this alignment kit. This is not just for a street racer, this is for so much than that. And if you are worried about Tesla techs picking fights with you over after market parts, who cares? They always seem to blame those parts for other issues I’m having on the vehicle even when these parts are noticeably better in almost every aspect. When you buy the alignment kit, you will have a vehicle most will never even experience. On top of all of what I just said, I recently bought a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid and the first thing I did was message Don and bought a kit. The difference is night and day. Don’t take my word for it, buy it, install it and live the life you are meant to live in the vehicle you are supposed to drive.
