The damper assembly is the unsung hero of your Tesla’s ride quality, working tirelessly to balance comfort and control. The 1044090-00-AX Damper Assembly—designed for both left and right positions—combines rugged metal construction with a sleek black finish to deliver consistent, reliable performance, ensuring every drive feels smooth, stable, and responsive.
Crafted from high-strength steel, this damper assembly is engineered to handle the unique demands of electric vehicle performance:
- Reinforced cylinder: The steel body tolerates extreme internal pressures (up to 3,000 psi), ensuring consistent damping even during aggressive driving, heavy loads, or rough terrain.
- Chrome-plated piston rod: Heat-treated for extra strength, it resists bending and wear, maintaining smooth movement through thousands of compression and rebound cycles.
- Welded mounting brackets: Precision-welded to distribute stress evenly, these brackets prevent cracks or loosening, even under the constant vibration of daily driving.
The black powder coat finish adds a protective layer, shielding the metal from road salt, moisture, and debris—critical for longevity in all climates, from snowy winters to humid summers.
This damper assembly isn’t just a shock absorber—it’s a key component in your Tesla’s suspension system, impacting:
- Ride comfort: Softens impacts from potholes, bumps, and uneven roads, reducing jolts felt in the cabin.
- Handling precision: Stiffens appropriately during cornering to minimize body roll, keeping the vehicle stable and tires grounded for better traction.
- Tire longevity: Prevents excessive wheel bounce, ensuring even tire contact with the road and reducing uneven wear.
A worn damper reveals itself through symptoms like excessive bouncing, a "loose" feel at high speeds, or noise (clunking/squeaking) over bumps—all of which compromise safety and driving pleasure.
Designed to fit both left and right sides, this assembly simplifies replacement and inventory management:
- Drop-in compatibility: Matches OEM mounting points exactly, requiring no drilling, welding, or modifications to your Tesla’s chassis or suspension arms.
- Alignment-friendly: Precisely positioned bushings ensure proper wheel alignment post-installation, preserving Tesla’s factory-spec camber, caster, and toe settings.
- Ready-to-install: Includes all necessary hardware (lock nuts, washers) for a secure fit, with torque specifications matching Tesla’s standards (typically 45-55 Nm for mounting bolts).
Backed by a 24-month warranty, the 1044090-00-AX damper assembly undergoes rigorous testing to meet automotive industry standards:
- 100,000+ cycle test: Simulates 100,000+ miles of driving to ensure consistent performance over time.
- Temperature resistance: Functions reliably from -40°C to 80°C, adapting to extreme hot and cold conditions.
- Salt spray testing: 500+ hours of exposure to road salt mist to validate corrosion resistance.
For Tesla owners, the 1044090-00-AX Damper Assembly is more than a replacement part—it’s a commitment to maintaining that signature Tesla ride: smooth, controlled, and confidence-inspiring. Trust its metal strength and precision engineering to keep your vehicle performing at its best, mile after mile.
