BMW E46 Lower Control Arms now with a Lifetime Warranty
New Protective
Coating and Lubrication Technology Promises Increased Service Life
of
Control Arms, Ball Joints, Tie Rods, Drag Links
and other Ball Pin Type
Suspension Products.
Synthetic
materials are increasingly being used in high friction industrial and
automotive applications. Synthetic materials can be manipulated in many
different ways depending upon how friction, heat, vibration, noise and
corrosion are to be dissipated or controlled. Through collaboration with
Lufthansa Technik Intercoat GmbH (www.lht-intercoat.com)
and the technology pioneered through them Meyle Products has been able to
use this technology to their advantage to even further improve upon some
of their most popular suspension items. This technology coupled with the
recently announced advanced grease formulation also developed by Lufthansa
Technik Intercoat promises to bring the lifespan of suspension and
steering components to a new level.
The new
advanced formula grease has been designed to fulfill the following
criteria:
►It
keeps a constant film between the plastic cup and the metal ball pin to
avoid abrasion.
►It utilizes
solid Teflon particles to reduce the thrust from damaging breakaway
torque.
►It
successfully keeps a secure film under the sealing lip of the protective
grease boot.
►It is also
successful in keeping a lubricating film on top of the metal ball pin to
avoid corrosion.
►It keeps
foreign particles out of the bearing gap between the ball pin base and the
plastic cup.
This new grease
formulation far exceeds the standards set by OE specifications.
