Best Suspension Setting After Alignment for Model X

[Landon_Ricketts]

I know the inner tire wear issue on the 2020 Model X has been a hot topic. I’ve decided not to go for aftermarket arms just yet, so I had my alignment done in Low suspension mode at a local shop.

Now I’m wondering, should I keep the suspension set to Low while driving to maintain the alignment? Or is it fine to switch back to the default Medium height for a smoother ride? Honestly, Medium feels more comfortable, but I don’t want to risk messing up the alignment or wearing out the tires faster.

Has anyone else tackled this? What’s the best approach for balancing tire health and ride comfort?

So, if you have the alignment done in Low suspension mode, then keep the vehicle in that mode when you drive. Alignment should always be set in the height you most frequently use while driving. If you choose to lower the suspension, then expect increase in negative camber.

I think leaving the suspension in the low position all the time could degrade ride quality and perhaps harm the suspension parts over time, particularly if you frequently travel on bad roads.

Lowering the car for alignment and then putting it back in the "medium" position for regular drive is more sensible. This way, tire wear can be addressed without compromising comfort.

However, purchasing aftermarket suspension arms can be a more sustainable option if you're serious about lowering tire wear and enhancing handling.

Try playing around with the suspension settings. You might find a good middle ground between comfort and handling. Experiment and see what you like best.
