Factory-Fit Damping Upgrade for the 2017 and newer Tesla Model 3 Long Range 2WD
The VSGP2-A1MS2-R brings Tein's EnduraPro OE-shape damper technology to the 2017 and newer Tesla Model 3 Long Range 2WD front right position, giving drivers a direct bolt-in shock upgrade that keeps the factory spring and ride height in place. OE-shape shock absorbers designed to reuse the vehicle's original spring and upper mount, sharing an identical lower spring seat shape to the factory unit. The sealed structure keeps manufacturing costs efficient without compromising damping quality. Fortified installation points and a reinforced shell case versus OE add durability, and the larger shell case diameter increases oil capacity and long-term durability. The Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.) converts full-stroke impact into thermal energy, reducing disturbance to the vehicle and stress on the damper. A twin-tube damper system provides a longer stroke and smaller repulsive force for high ride comfort, smooth low-speed behavior, and stable high-speed control. High-performance damper oil maintains stable viscosity across temperature ranges, resists foaming and cavitation, and is built for spirited street driving. The TEIN-Green powder coating uses a patented two-layer, one-bake method (Japanese patent 4347712) with no harmful solvents. The VSGP2-A1MS2-R is built for daily drivers and street-performance owners who want improved damper control without moving to a full coilover system.
Key Features
- OE-shape design reuses the factory spring and, on most applications, the factory upper mount (VSGP2-A1MS2-R)
- Twin-tube damper construction for a longer stroke, smoother low-speed ride, and stable high-speed control
- Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.) converts full-stroke impact into thermal energy to reduce harshness
- Fortified installation points and a larger-diameter shell case versus OE for added durability and oil capacity
- High-performance damper oil resists foaming and cavitation across a wide temperature range
- TEIN-Green two-layer, one-bake powder coating (Japanese patent 4347712) for long-term corrosion resistance

FAQ
What is the VSGP2-A1MS2-R?The VSGP2-A1MS2-R is a Tein EnduraPro OE-shape shock absorber engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the 2017 and newer Tesla Model 3 Long Range 2WD front right position. It reuses the factory spring and upper mount and installs using the same lower spring seat shape as the original equipment shock.
Does the VSGP2-A1MS2-R work with my factory springs?Yes. The VSGP2-A1MS2-R is designed as an OE-shape replacement, meaning it reuses your vehicle's factory spring and, on most applications, the factory upper mount as well.
Is the VSGP2-A1MS2-R sold as a single shock or a full kit?The VSGP2-A1MS2-R is sold individually as a single shock, so confirm quantity needed for your vehicle before ordering.
Will the VSGP2-A1MS2-R lower my ride height?No. The EnduraPro platform is designed to maintain a ride height close to factory when paired with the OE spring, unlike a coilover kit.
Does the VSGP2-A1MS2-R include a damping adjustment dial?No. Standard EnduraPro units like the VSGP2-A1MS2-R use a fixed, non-adjustable damping tune for simplified street use.
What is the Hydraulic Bump Stopper on the VSGP2-A1MS2-R?The H.B.S. converts full-stroke impact energy into heat, reducing harshness and reducing stress on the damper internals during hard compression events.
Is the VSGP2-A1MS2-R EDFC compatible?Standard EnduraPro units are not EDFC compatible since damping is fixed; only EnduraPro Plus units support EDFC on applicable vehicles.
How is the VSGP2-A1MS2-R finished for corrosion resistance?The shell case uses Tein's patented TEIN-Green two-layer, one-bake powder coating process, which improves resistance to corrosion and coating degradation over time.
Install Instructions
- Raise and safely support the vehicle, then remove the wheel on the side being serviced for the VSGP2-A1MS2-R.
- Disconnect any sway bar end link, brake line bracket, or ABS sensor wiring attached to the factory shock assembly.
- Support the spring and upper mount assembly, then remove the lower shock bolt and upper mount fasteners.
- Transfer the factory spring and upper mount to the VSGP2-A1MS2-R using the same lower spring seat orientation as the original shock.
- Install the assembled unit into the vehicle, torque all fasteners to factory specification, and reconnect any brackets or sensors.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and check ride height and alignment before returning to normal driving.
