The SPL RUA MOD3 Rear Upper Lateral (Camber) Links provide precise rear camber adjustment for the 2017 and newer Tesla Model 3 and the 2020 and newer Tesla Model Y. The OEM upper lateral links use rubber bushings that lose their geometric integrity when the vehicle is lowered, running track camber settings, or pushed hard in sustained cornering. The SPL RUA MOD3 replaces those bushings with gun-drilled 2024 aluminum links, 6061-T6 aluminum rotating clamps, and 3-piece PTFE-lined FK rod ends manufactured in Connecticut. The rotating clamp system enables single-technician camber adjustment without jam nuts: loosen the Allen bolts, rotate the link to the target camber reading on the alignment rack, and re-tighten. For owners running their Model 3 or Model Y on track or wanting to carry more negative camber for street handling, the SPL RUA MOD3 provides the adjustability and durability the factory link cannot.

Why would a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y need adjustable rear camber links?
The SPL RUA MOD3 serves two primary use cases: correcting rear camber on vehicles that have been lowered (where OEM geometry produces excessive positive camber) and dialing in additional negative camber for performance track driving or autocross. Tesla does not provide rear camber adjustment from the factory.
Does these links fit both the Model 3 and the Model Y?
Yes. These links fits the Tesla Model 3 from 2017 onward and the Tesla Model Y from 2020 onward. Both platforms share the same rear upper lateral link mounting geometry.
What is the rotating clamp, and how does it simplify alignment?
The 360-degree rotating collar on the center link allows a single technician to adjust camber on the alignment rack by loosening the two Titanium Allen bolts, rotating the link to the target camber reading, and re-tightening the bolts. There are no jam nuts to fight against, which significantly reduces the time and frustration of rear alignment adjustments.
What camber range is achievable with these links?
SPL designs their links to provide a meaningful adjustment range beyond OEM, sufficient for correcting camber on moderately to aggressively lowered vehicles and for dialing in track-spec camber settings. Refer to the SPL Parts installation guide for the specific adjustment range in degrees for your ride height.
Are the FK rod ends in these links appropriate for daily driving?
Yes. The PTFE-lined FK rod ends provide a small amount of compliant articulation while still being far stiffer than rubber bushings. They are suitable for street driving and carry a -65 to 325 degree Fahrenheit temperature rating, covering all normal street and track thermal environments.
Will installing these links affect my Tesla warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Tesla cannot void your entire vehicle warranty solely because you installed an aftermarket suspension component. Tesla would need to demonstrate that the specific aftermarket part directly caused the failure being claimed. Consult your Tesla service advisor for your specific situation.
Does these links require any other modifications to work properly?
No additional modifications are required. However, for best results on lowered vehicles, pairing these links with adjustable rear toe links will allow full four-wheel alignment capability. A professional four-wheel alignment is required after installation.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires standard metric socket and wrench sets to remove and reinstall the OEM upper lateral link fasteners, plus a 3/16-inch Allen key for the SPL rotating clamp bolts. A vehicle lift and alignment rack are also required for safe installation and proper final alignment.
