How to Adjust Rear Toe Links on Tesla Model 3

Quick answer

Adjusting the rear toe links on your Tesla Model 3 corrects the common inner tire wear issue. Use EVANNEX adjustable rear toe links for precise alignment control.

Step-by-step adjustment process

1. 1. Lift and secure the rear of the car: Jack up the rear of the Tesla Model 3 at the designated lift points and place jack stands under the frame rails. Ensure the car is stable before proceeding. Common mistake: lifting from the battery pack or suspension components can cause damage.
2. 2. Remove the existing toe link: Using an 18mm wrench, loosen and remove the bolt connecting the toe link to the knuckle. Then remove the bolt at the subframe end. Carefully extract the stock link. Checkpoint: note the orientation of the factory link for proper installation of the new one.
3. 3. Install the EVANNEX adjustable toe link: Attach the new toe link to the subframe first, then to the knuckle. Hand-tighten the bolts. Do not torque them yet—adjustment comes next. Common mistake: cross-threading the rod ends; ensure threads are clean and lubricated.
4. 4. Set initial toe adjustment: Rotate the turnbuckle to lengthen or shorten the link. A good starting point is to match the length of the original link. Use a tape measure from the center of each bolt hole to gauge length. Checkpoint: both sides should be set to the same length for symmetrical toe.
5. 5. Lower the car and check alignment: Lower the car to the ground and roll it back and forth to settle the suspension. Measure toe using a string or alignment tool. Adjust the turnbuckle as needed to achieve 0° to 0.10° toe-in per side. Common mistake: adjusting with the car in the air gives inaccurate toe readings due to suspension geometry changes.
6. 6. Torque all bolts to spec: Once toe is set, torque the subframe bolt to 81 lb-ft (110 Nm) and the knuckle bolt to 74 lb-ft (100 Nm). Tighten the jam nuts on the turnbuckle to secure the adjustment. Checkpoint: re-check toe after torquing, as tightening can shift the link slightly.
