Federal-Mogul says it is continuing its
aggressive expansion of the MOOG steering and suspension product line, with
dozens of new parts introduced for millions of popular foreign nameplate and
domestic applications. The company reports that it added a record 1,191
new parts to the MOOG product line in 2011.
“Our engineering and product management
teams have been exceptionally effective in identifying and addressing hundreds
of emerging repair needs among today’s vehicle population,” said Mark Boyle,
director, steering and suspension products, Federal-Mogul. “Our goal is to
provide MOOG customers with all of the parts they need to capture every service
opportunity, and no low-volume parts that will simply sit on distributors’
shelves. This aggressive product line investment offers distributors and
service shops a strong competitive advantage.”
Among the new premium products
introduced this month are MOOG Problem Solver front upper control arms with
integral ball joints for more than 1.1 million four-wheel-drive Dodge Dakota
(2000-2004) and Durango (2000-2003) vehicles, and Problem Solver strut arm
assemblies with ball joints for more than 1.2 million Chrysler 300 (2005-2010),
Dodge Magnum (2005-2008) and Dodge Charger (2006-2009) vehicles. Each of these
parts features the MOOG brand’s premium e-coat technology for exceptional
corrosion resistance and world-class MOOG balls joints with “gusher” bearings, which
allow grease to penetrate all load-bearing surfaces for longer life, according
to the company. The company adds that the integral ball joints also include
full-ball studs that provide 360 degrees of smooth, even rotational movement
for more responsive steering, and grease fittings and premium MOOG boots for
serviceability and superior durability.
In addition, Federal-Mogul reports to
have added hundreds of MOOG R-Series control arms for popular domestic and
foreign nameplate applications to its product offering. R-Series control arms
combine quality design and construction with pricing that will appeal to
budget-minded vehicle owners.
Federal-Mogul also introduced a broad
line of MOOG complete strut assemblies engineered to improve vehicle dynamics,
provide a smoother ride, last longer and install easily. These innovative
assemblies are available for hundreds of popular late-model foreign nameplate
and domestic passenger cars and light trucks. Federal-Mogul says it now also
offers its complete line of premium, original equipment-style replacement wheel
hub assemblies under the MOOG brand.
