Description

Restore proper rear suspension geometry and handling with the MEYLE Rear Upper Link, a direct replacement for the factory rear upper suspension link on RWD Tesla Model S vehicles.

The rear upper link helps control the position and movement of the rear wheel assembly as the suspension moves through its range of travel. Worn bushings or links can contribute to suspension noise, excessive movement, uneven tire wear, and changes in rear-wheel alignment.

This is a left/right interchangeable component and is sold individually. Tesla specifies two rear upper links per vehicle.

EVANNEX Ordering Guide

Sold individually replacement in pairs recommended.

The rear upper links on the left and right sides experience similar mileage, road conditions, and suspension loads. When one link is worn, replacing both sides together can help maintain balanced rear suspension performance.

Replacing one side:

• 1 MEYLE 70-16 050 0028 Rear Upper Link
• Tesla OE: 1027421-00-E
• Fits either the left or right side

Replacing both sides Recommended:

• 2 MEYLE 70-16 050 0028 Rear Upper Links
• Tesla OE: 1027421-00-E
• 1 Left
• 1 Right

Important: There is no separate left- or right-side MEYLE part number for this application. The same component is used on both sides. Tesla’s parts information specifies a quantity of two.

Installation Note

After replacing rear suspension components, a four-wheel alignment is recommended to verify rear suspension geometry and help prevent uneven tire wear.
