As “The Problem Solver,” Federal-Mogul’s MOOG products improve on original steering and suspension designs to help make installation faster and easier. In addition, the MOOG brand’s greaseable socket design allows contaminants to be flushed out for longer service life, and a patented cover plate virtually eliminates damaging axial and radial deflection. In short, MOOG parts deliver the precise, reliable steering response and handling today’s vehicle owners demand.

Among the new MOOG parts introduced this year are 22 tie rods, 34 sway bar links, 19 strut mounts, 11 control arms, 11 ball joints and dozens of other components covering a wide range of popular domestic and foreign nameplate applications. Nearly 60 percent of the parts added to the MOOG line over the past 12 months specifically address repair needs on foreign nameplate vehicles. Late-model foreign nameplate coverage represented in the most recent MOOG line expansion includes applications from Acura, Audi, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. The latest new domestic MOOG coverage includes several popular Buick, Chevrolet/GMC, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ford, Jeep, Pontiac and Saturn models.
 
“The MOOG brand has built its market leadership by offering the best solutions and the right products. That’s why it’s the preferred chassis brand of professional technicians and NASCAR champions,” said Peter Murnen, global director, Undercar Products, Federal-Mogul. “Federal-Mogul’s commitment to innovative, problem-solving engineering is matched by an aggressive, continuing investment in new coverage that leads the chassis category in actual repair opportunities. By relying on MOOG, distributors and repair shops have a true partner in growing their steering and suspension business.”

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
