SPL Parts Rear Upper Traction Links
2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 / 2020–2025 Tesla Model Y
SPL RUT MOD3
Overview:
The SPL Parts Rear Upper Traction Links are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for Tesla Model 3 (2017–2023) and Model Y (2020–2025) vehicles. These adjustable links enhance rear suspension response and stability by eliminating bushing deflection during hard acceleration and braking, significantly reducing wheel hop on aggressive launches.
Ideal for performance enthusiasts and racers alike, these traction links allow fine tuning of rear bumpsteer and anti-squat characteristics, providing improved handling and traction under demanding driving conditions. Whether you’re upgrading your daily driver or building a track-focused Tesla, these links deliver superior control and durability.
Key Features:
Engineered with high-quality materials and innovative design, the SPL Parts Rear Upper Traction Links offer a combination of strength, precision, and ease of adjustment:
- Gun drilled 2024 aluminum center links, clamps, and clevises reduce unsprung weight for improved suspension performance.
- Blue anodized titanium socket head cap screws provide corrosion resistance and a lightweight, durable fastening solution.
- 6061-T6 aluminum rotating clamp design enables 360-degree rotation for precise alignment and articulation.
- Low friction, three-piece Teflon-lined FK Heim joints (rod ends) eliminate bushing deflection and provide smooth articulation under load.
- Length adjustable links allow fine tuning of rear bumpsteer and anti-squat to optimize handling characteristics.
- FK Bearings rod ends feature a chemically bonded PTFE liner offering quiet operation, high load capacity, and excellent wear resistance.
- Operating temperature range of -65º to 325ºF ensures reliability for both street and track use.
- Made in the USA with meticulous craftsmanship and quality control.
- Simple adjustment with a 3/16" Allen key eliminates the need for wrenches and jam nuts, making alignment locking quick and hassle-free.
Construction & Design:
The SPL Parts Rear Upper Traction Links are crafted from lightweight yet strong 2024 aluminum, carefully gun drilled to reduce weight without sacrificing durability. The 6061-T6 aluminum clamps feature a unique rotating design that allows the rod ends to pivot freely, preventing binding and ensuring consistent suspension geometry.
Blue anodized titanium socket head cap screws not only add corrosion resistance but also reduce overall weight compared to steel fasteners. The FK Heim joints incorporate a three-piece design with a Teflon-lined bearing race, chemically bonded to provide smooth, low-friction articulation and eliminate the deflection common in rubber bushings.
Installation & Fitment:
These rear upper traction links are designed as direct replacements for the factory components on Tesla Model 3 (2017–2023) and Model Y (2020–2025) vehicles. Installation is straightforward, utilizing existing mounting points without the need for cutting, drilling, or special tuning.
- Sold as a pair for both left and right sides.
- Length adjustable for precise suspension tuning.
- Locking mechanism requires only a 3/16" Allen key for secure alignment settings.
