Front Shock Absorber Upper Mount Rubber for Tesla Model Y/3 (2017-2023) | CFN Brand | 10444402

1. Core Function Description

1. Vibration & Noise Reduction: Made of high-density ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber with a proprietary formula (developed by CFN), it effectively absorbs 80%+ of road vibrations (e.g., from potholes, speed bumps) and isolates suspension noise (20-500Hz frequency range) from transferring to the vehicle cabin, maintaining Model Y/3’s quiet driving experience.
2. Structural Connection & Load Bearing: Serves as a critical link between the front shock absorber and the vehicle’s front frame, withstanding axial loads up to 18kN and radial loads up to 12kN. It ensures the shock absorber stays aligned with the suspension geometry (camber, toe) during steering and braking, avoiding abnormal tire wear.
3. Environmental Resistance: The EPDM rubber is infused with anti-aging and anti-ozone additives (CFN’s unique modification process), resisting high temperatures (up to 120℃, from brake heat), low temperatures (down to -40℃), and chemical corrosion (road salt, engine oil), preventing hardening, cracking, or deformation over long-term use.

3. Fault Judgment (Signs for Replacement)

• Increased Cabin Noise: Abnormal "knocking" or "creaking" sounds from the front suspension when driving over rough roads—caused by hardened rubber losing vibration isolation ability, leading to metal-to-metal contact.
• Suspension Misalignment: Uneven tire wear (e.g., inner edge of front tires wearing faster than outer edge) or steering wheel vibration at high speeds (60km/h+)—due to cracked or deformed rubber altering the shock absorber’s alignment angle.
• Visible Damage: Rubber surface cracking (cracks longer than 5mm), hardening (Shore hardness >80 HA, tested with a durometer), or separation from the metal insert—these destroy the mount’s structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
• Reduced Handling: The vehicle leans excessively during cornering or takes longer to stabilize after bumps—caused by degraded rubber failing to support the shock absorber’s damping force.

5. Installation Details

5.1 Package Contents

• 1× CFN front shock absorber upper mount rubber (10444402)
• 3× Galvanized mounting bolts (M8×20mm, matches Tesla’s factory thread; anti-loose design)
• 1× Installation guide (with diagrams of suspension disassembly sequence)
• 1× Silicone lubricant packet (for reducing friction between the mount and shock absorber)

5.2 Required Tools

• Socket wrench set (10mm, 13mm)
• Torque wrench (0-50 Nm range)
• Spring compressor (to safely remove the shock absorber from the suspension)
• Flathead screwdriver (for prying old mount from the shock absorber)

5.3 Installation Precautions

1. Suspension Safety: Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands (do not rely solely on the jack); remove the front wheel before disassembling the suspension.
2. Shock Absorber Removal: Use a spring compressor to compress the suspension spring, then remove the shock absorber’s upper mounting bolts—avoid sudden release of spring force (risk of injury).
3. Mount Alignment: Ensure the new CFN mount’s metal insert aligns with the shock absorber’s upper flange; do not twist the rubber (may cause premature cracking).
4. Torque Setting: Tighten the mounting bolts to 22±2 Nm (per Tesla’s factory specification)—over-tightening will crush the rubber, while under-tightening causes looseness and noise.

6. After-Sales Support (CFN Brand)

• Warranty: 3-year/60,000-kilometer warranty (whichever comes first), covering defects such as rubber cracking, hardening, or separation from the metal insert (excludes damage from improper installation or collision).
• Technical Assistance: CFN’s dedicated EV suspension technicians are available via email or chat to provide installation guidance (e.g., spring compressor operation, torque verification) and troubleshooting.
• Quality Guarantee: If the mount fails to fit Model Y/3 (2017-2023) or has quality issues within 30 days of receipt, CFN offers free replacement or full refund (provided unused and in original packaging).

7. Usage Tips

• Maintenance: Inspect the mount rubber every 15,000 kilometers—clean surface dirt with a damp cloth (avoid using harsh chemicals like gasoline, which damage EPDM rubber).
• Pair Replacement: For balanced suspension performance, replace the front left and right shock absorber upper mount rubbers at the same time (even if only one shows signs of wear).
• Bulk Inquiries: Repair shops or fleet operators can contact CFN’s commercial sales team for bulk pricing—customized delivery schedules and technical training are available.
