Steering/Suspension

Affinia Global Brake and Chassis officially re-branded its chassis offerings under the, Raybestos® name during 2008.  Raybestos Chassis features superior coverage of aftermarket SKU’s and an industry-leading warranty.  Raybestos Chassis Ball Joints and Tie Rods are designed and engineered with Advanced Technology® materials, featuring friction-reducing synthetic composites that help reduce metal-on-metal contact and, as a result, require less maintenance.  Advanced Technology Chassis parts have smooth finishes that slide easier and provide longer product life maintenance than competing parts, while continuing to provide superior performance and reliability

Ball Joints Ball joints are one-piece forged for strength, with two-piece cylindrical wedges that provide the industry's finest fatigue/wear resistance. Ball joints are cold formed and heat-treated for superior strength and durability. The full ball design delivers ample wear surface and a fused urethane boot to prevent joint disintegration.

Idler Arms Affinia idler arms incorporate super-sized bearings for superior stability and zero side-to-side endplay. Precision-engineered stud and bracket bearing surfaces extend life and optimize performance with low-friction bearings set for smooth steering.

Tie Rod Ends Tie rod ends are designed with one-piece forged housing for strength. A paired-bearing design yields low-friction, high-impact resistance. Precision-machine studs deliver consistent torque for smooth operation with dyno testing to assure performance.

Sway Bar Link Cold-forged sway bar rods assure superior strength and stability, while incorporating performance-enhancing low-friction design. A full-ball stud maximizes the performance surface area.

Control Arm Assemblies A one-two power-punch of ball joint/control arm combination has set the standard for heavy-duty vehicles. Technicians benefit from a complete solution in this premium quality, professional-grade product.

Alignment Products Raybestos Chassis bushing kit and alignment products are precision-designed to optimize steering performance for a complete and proper four-wheel alignment that is essential for safe vehicle operation. Forged at high temperatures, the synthetic materials used in Raybestos bushings are built to withstand high-force impacts and extreme weather conditions. They won't crack, harden, become brittle or discolor with age.
