Frequently Asked Questions
What sway bar does the Whiteline KSK133-30 fit?
KSK133-30 is a service bushing kit designed specifically for the Whiteline BTF101Z 30mm front adjustable sway bar fitted to Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. It does not fit the factory Tesla sway bar.
Will KSK133-30 fit my Tesla Model Y Performance?
Yes. KSK133-30 fits Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD and Performance trims from 2020 to 2023, as well as all Tesla Model 3 trims from 2017 to 2023, when used with the Whiteline BTF101Z front sway bar.
How many bushings are included in the KSK133-30 kit?
Each KSK133-30 kit includes 2 bushings, which is the correct quantity for a complete front sway bar mount service on a single vehicle.
Why is the inner bore of KSK133-30 knurled?
The knurled inner diameter is engineered to capture and retain grease at the contact surface between the bushing and the sway bar tube. This reduces dry-wear friction, prevents squeaking, and extends the service life of the bushing without requiring frequent re-lubrication.
What is the material used in Whiteline KSK133-30 bushings?
Whiteline uses a proprietary high-grade synthetic elastomer compound for KSK133-30. It offers the handling precision of polyurethane with reduced harshness, and is engineered to outperform standard rubber bushings in response, durability, and temperature resistance.
Do I need to grease the KSK133-30 bushings during installation?
Yes. Apply a film of bushing grease to the knurled inner bore before sliding KSK133-30 onto the sway bar tube. The knurling traps grease at the contact surface for long-term lubrication. Whiteline bushing grease or an equivalent high-temperature synthetic grease is recommended.
What is the warranty on Whiteline KSK133-30?
Whiteline backs KSK133-30 with a lifetime warranty, reflecting confidence in the synthetic elastomer compound and construction quality used in all Whiteline bushing kits.
Can KSK133-30 be used to upgrade from OEM Tesla sway bar bushings?
No. KSK133-30 is a service kit for the Whiteline BTF101Z sway bar and is sized at 30mm to match that specific bar. Tesla’s factory front sway bar is a different diameter and requires a different bushing. If you are upgrading from the factory bar, you would first install the BTF101Z sway bar, then use KSK133-30 as the service bushing going forward.
Installation Instructions
- Safely raise the vehicle and support on jack stands. Remove the front wheels for improved access if needed.
- Locate the front sway bar mount brackets on the subframe behind the front fascia.
- Remove the sway bar mount bracket bolts and lower the bracket to free the bushing.
- Slide the old bushing off the sway bar tube and clean the bar surface with a rag.
- Apply a film of bushing grease to the inner bore of each new KSK133-30 bushing.
- Slide the new KSK133-30 bushings onto the sway bar tube in the correct orientation, with the split facing upward or as directed by the mount bracket design.
- Reinstall the sway bar mount bracket and torque the mounting bolts to Tesla specification.
- Reinstall wheels and lower the vehicle. Test drive and verify no noise or movement from the sway bar mounts.
