This guide is for Tesla Model 3 owners and automotive technicians working on the front suspension. The key benefit is its specialized design for easily accessing and removing strut mounting bolts, a task often hindered by tight spaces. A caveat is its specific application for Tesla Model 3, meaning it may not be suitable for other vehicle makes or models. This tool is a thin-walled, deep socket designed to tackle the unique challenges of the Model 3's strut mounting bolt, featuring a magnetic nut retainer for added convenience.

This socket is specifically designed for the front suspension strut mounting bolts on the Tesla Model 3.
The socket is a 13mm single hex (6 point) size with a 3/8" drive.
It features a thin-walled design and a specific shape to access the tight clearance around the strut mounting bolts on the Tesla Model 3, along with a sprung-loaded magnet to hold the nut.
While it is a 13mm socket, its specialized thin-walled design and shape are optimized for the Tesla Model 3. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed and may depend on specific suspension component design and clearance.
No, this product is the socket only. A compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or impact wrench is required separately.
The total length of the socket is 62.5mm.
The sprung-loaded magnet is designed to securely hold the nut onto the socket, preventing it from being lost during removal or installation in difficult-to-reach areas.
Confirm you are working on a Tesla Model 3 and that the bolt is indeed a 13mm strut mounting bolt. This socket is specifically designed for that application and may not fit other bolt types or sizes.
Ensure the nut and the magnet surface are clean and free of oil or debris. The magnet's strength can be reduced by contamination. Check if the magnet itself is damaged or dislodged.
Verify that you are using the correct 13mm socket. Inspect the bolt head for any damage that might be affecting the fit. Ensure the socket is fully engaged onto the bolt head.
Setup: No complex setup is required. This is a hand tool designed for direct use. Ensure you have a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or impact wrench to use with the socket.
Compatibility: This socket is specifically designed for the strut mounting bolts on Tesla Model 3 vehicles. While the bolt size is 13mm, the socket's thin-walled and shaped design is optimized for the clearance found in the Model 3's suspension.
