More Durability and Reliability

MOOG® Creates Enhancements to Premium Control Arms Product Line, Delivering Greater Durability and Reliability for Real-World Performance MOOG®, the industry-leading steering and suspension brand of Tenneco Inc.'s (NYSE: TEN) DRiV group, recently announced a series of enhancements to its Premium control arms. MOOG continues to raise the bar for excellent control arms by constantly testing and developing new engineering solutions to improve vehicle handling and performance. Innovations in MOOG Premium control arms include induction-hardened studs and carbon fiber-reinforced bearings with PTFE. The induction-hardened studs provide additional strength, while patent-pending carbon fiber-reinforced bearings reduce socket friction compared to typical unreinforced bearings. These innovations together provide extended ball joint life. The "Proof of Excellence" of MOOG Premium control arms is further demonstrated in the following ways: • Enhanced Structural Strength: The material and heat treatment of each control arm is carefully selected to meet application requirements. • Increased Contaminant Resistance: A pre-installed dust boot seal provides an effective barrier against contaminants that cause wear, while the greaseable design allows fresh lubricants to displace contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear. Most of the advanced control arms come with all the hardware needed for quick and easy installation and a laser-etched MOOG product identification to guarantee genuine MOOG quality. Adam Richardson, MOOG Manager, stated, "At MOOG, our engineers are constantly seeking better solutions, manufacturing processes and materials to ensure quality and durability in our products and to give our customers confidence that they are getting the best part possible for their vehicles. "Engineering is at the heart of every part we make, and it is our responsibility to ensure that every part is designed to exact specifications and tested to the highest standards. We stand behind the MOOG name in every product we make." Source
