Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We can supply individual components or a complete assembly
Cold-formed suspension components generally range from ½ to 4 inches, depending on the part. For larger or more complex designs, we evaluate feasibility case-by-case.
We operate 20+ facilities across North America, Europe, China, and Japan, supporting cold forming, powder metallurgy, advanced metal forming, and torque management solutions.
Our combined companies have produced precision chassis components for multiple decades, bringing long-standing cold-forming and component-engineering experience to ball joint manufacturing.
We support co-engineering, manufacturability guidance, and optimization of customer designs. Functional design typically comes from the customer, while we refine it for forming efficiency and durability.
