Die Lager der unteren Querlenker für das Model 3 waren eines der beliebtesten Produkte von MPP, und wir zweifeln nicht daran, dass diese Lager noch beliebter werden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMountain Pass Performance in eigenen Worten:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model S\/X Plaid suffers from a numb front end, and it’s one of the things that really take away from the driving enjoyment of the car. Our solid front lower bearings for Model S\/X Plaid are a major fix for that. The lower control arm bearings for the Model 3 have been one of our most popular products, and we have no doubt these bearings will be even more popular – as they really help to liven up the front of the Model S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePossibly the most significant bushing replacement on the entire car\u003c\/strong\u003e, the front lower control arm bushing moves laterally significantly when cornering. This results in a mushy feeling through the steering wheel, and a wallowing or wiggle as the car “takes a set” upon entering a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt gets worse! As the outside wheel and tire carry most of the cornering load, this outside bushing deflects more than the inside bushing. This results in a change of toe and camber loss, which\u003cstrong\u003e reduces total front grip.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tension rod bearing has a nearly equal significance, as this bearing affects the car’s stability under braking, as well as contributing to the camber and toe compliance. The good news for Model S\/X owners is that this arm is in the opposite direction of the Model 3, which means a solid bearing can be installed here without the same NVH compromise that is experienced with the 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve kitted both of these bearings together into one product for that reason. Both bearings can use the same press tool, and since an alignment is required doing both bearings at once is the most efficient and cost-effective option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings-480x270.jpg 480w\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17057\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings-1024x576.jpg\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings-300x169.jpg\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-title=\"MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-orig-size=\"1600,900\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MPP-Model-S-Plaid-Lower-Bearings.jpg\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/?attachment_id=17057\" data-attachment-id=\"17057\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe upgrade is significant, and when used in conjunction with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainpassperformance.com\/product\/model-s-fuca\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efront upper control arm\u003c\/a\u003e, there is zero rubber in the front suspension.\u003c\/strong\u003e That results in a much sharper and more direct steering feel, as well as total confidence and a connection to the front end of the car during cornering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be mentioned however that even after this upgrade the steering feel will not match that of a Model 3.
