This is a DIY overview. If you don't know how to work on cars, please ask a shop to do the install. With the right tools and some mechanical knowledge, this is a one to three hour job in your garage on jack stands. An alignment shop should realistically only charge you one or two hours labor if you go that route.

Use all possible safety precautions if you are doing the install yourself. We take no responsibility if you damage your car or yourself during the install.

EVPE camber shims, set of 4

Steps

  1. 01Place the vehicle into minimum height necessary to get a jack underneath.
  2. 02Place the vehicle into JACK MODE.
  3. 03Raise one rear wheel off the ground with a jack using Tesla-approved jack points — a jack puck helps prevent damage to the vehicle.
  4. 04Support the weight of the vehicle with something in addition to the jack (jacks fail from time to time).
  5. 05Remove the wheel.
  6. 06Take note of the upper aft link (1 finger), upper fore link (2 fingers), and the toe link (3 fingers) in the first photo — the shims will be installed between the aft link and the frame.
  7. 07Loosen but DO NOT completely remove the frame side bolts for these three links. If you remove the bolts, the ears for the frame side of each link will rotate, and it will be a pain to line them up again.
  8. 08Slide one camber shim between each of the ears of the aft link and the frame (2 per side of vehicle). The flat side of the shims goes toward the frame. The protrusions on the perimeter of the shims are meant to hold them against the ears of the link and keep the shims from rotating.
  9. 09Tighten each of the 6 previously loosened bolts to 63 ft-lbs — it may be helpful to use a jack to compress the suspension while tightening.
  10. 10Double check that the 6 bolts are tightened to spec.
  11. 11Mount wheel.
  12. 12Lower vehicle.
  13. 13Repeat on other side.

If you purchased the Black Shims — after step 9, keep the suspension compressed with the jack and remove/replace one factory bolt with an aftermarket bolt at a time. This should keep the ears of the link from rotating. Alternatively, remove only the two bolts from the aft link during step 7 and replace them with the aftermarket bolts while the factory bolts for the fore link and toe link are loose, allowing for movement and adjustment in the aft link.
