Specialist Electric Vehicle workshop or finding more EV business coming your way? Turn to Laser Tools for your EV and hybrid vehicle special tools and workshop safety equipment. If you are working on Teslas, here are two good examples of special tools new to the range: the Front Upper Control Arm Ride-Height Gauge (part number 8849) and the Rear Ride-Height Torque Tool (part number 8850).
The 8849 is used to set the initial ride height position of the front upper suspension control arm, on Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Required for initial setup when replacing the front upper suspension arms. Very easy to use: just screw the Laser ride-height gauge directly into the front upper control arm mount and tighten the new arm against the 8849 plate to set the arm position. Equivalent to OEM 1450399-00-A.
For rear ride height, Laser’s 8850 is again designed for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. This tool is used to set the suspension at the correct ride height when the top of the tool touches the sub-frame and the lower control arm sits on the lower part of the tool. Easy to use and accurate. Equivalent to OEM 1137855-00-A.
Two indispensable tools if working on these Tesla models, and available now for purchase from your Laser Tools stockist and online retailers.
