TRQ Front Outer Tie Rod Set Compatible with 2016-2021 Tesla S - Direct

In this review of the TRQ Front Outer Tie Rod Set, the bottom line is simple: this 2 piece replacement is aimed at Tesla Model S and Model X owners who want a direct-fit, value-oriented outer tie rod without aftermarket fuss. The reviewer found the set to deliver reliable fit and sturdy construction for steering repairs, making it a sensible buy for DIY mechanics and independent shops. The kit covers both driver and passenger front outer tie rods and ships with a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty on the parts themselves.

Key Features

• Complete 2 piece kit: Includes both front driver and passenger side outer tie rods so both sides can be serviced together for consistent steering response.
• Direct fitment: Designed to match 2016-2021 Tesla Model S and 2016-2020 Model X front outer tie rod locations for an easier installation and alignment retention.
• Durable construction: Built to withstand normal road use and provide sturdy steering control similar to OE replacements.
• Warranty coverage: TRQ backs the parts with a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty that covers the product cost if a defect appears during the coverage period.
• OE reference numbers: Cross-references to common part numbers from Beck/Arnley, Mevotech Supreme, MOOG, and Suspensia to help confirm compatibility.

Who It's For

This tie rod set is best for Tesla Model S owners from 4/01/16 production through 2021 and Tesla Model X owners from 2016 through 2020 who need a straightforward replacement for worn outer tie rods. It suits DIYers comfortable with front-end suspension work and independent repair shops that want an affordable, direct-fit replacement option.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners seeking a lifetime warranty or parts with factory-installed grease zerks for ongoing lubrication; some buyers reported concerns about thread damage and the absence of a grease fitting, so applications needing frequent greasing or guaranteed thread robustness might prefer an alternative with those explicit features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and alignment with Tesla Model S and Model X front outer locations, reducing installation time.
• Well made and sturdy construction that customers say restores steering feel.
• Value for money, especially when replacing both sides at once with the 2 piece kit.
• Backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty on the product itself for peace of mind.

Cons

• Some customers reported stripped threads on occasion, indicating careful handling during installation is needed.
• Lacks a grease zerk, so long-term lubrication requires service procedures without a built-in fitting.
