Reinforced Parts for Battery Electric Vehicles

Stronger design

Sidem BEV steering and suspension parts use ball studs made from chrome steel for strength and durability. The ball pins' diameter is important to cope with the heavy load and higher torque of BEVs. Sidem's BEV ball pins for ball joints, axial joints and stabilizer links have a larger diameter than those for cars with Internal Combustion Engines (ICE).

Vibration & noise reduction

Finally, BEVs produce less noise and vibration than combustion engines. So, minimizing road noise and vibrations transmitted to the cabin becomes even more important. Sidem’s range of silent blocks supports movement and isolates vibrations and noise for a higher driving comfort.

For several Tesla models, Sidem ball pin diameters are larger than the original equipment (OE) versions for extra resistance to the higher weight and torque.

Safer installation

Sidem also offers a track control arm with a different design as a solution to the problem of weak link ball joints. The ball joint of Sidem’s track control arm for the first generation Tesla models is incorporated directly into the aluminum housing, resulting in the part functioning with maximum strength. This ensures a safe installation and drive.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) put extra stress on steering and suspension parts. Compared to combustion cars, BEVs are much heavier due to the battery pack and they accelerate much faster. Sidem's range of BEV components are reinforced to cope with  this extra weight, the higher torque and vibrations for a safe and comfortable drive.
