Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in your control arms?
Our control arms use forged steel or cast iron construction depending on vehicle application. High-stress OEM applications use forged steel for maximum durability. All bushings are EPDM or polyurethane as specified.
Can you supply complete suspension kits with ball joints and bushings?
Yes. We can supply control arms as complete assemblies with pre-installed ball joints and bushings, or as bare arms for local assembly. Specify your preference in the RFQ.
What certifications apply to control arms for European markets?
Control arms for EU markets should comply with ECE R10 and relevant chassis directives. Our partner factories hold ISO/TS 16949 certification and can supply CE Declaration of Conformity documentation upon request.
What is the MOQ for control arms?
MOQ is 50 pieces per part number. For complex OEM-specific parts we may require a 100-piece minimum for the first order. Subsequent reorders can be smaller once the factory run is confirmed.
