Japanparts shares a complete breakdown of its range of traditional suspension, air suspension and electronic suspension components, which now includes various major European and American vehicle brands.
The company’s range of traditional shock absorbers, which has now become a core element of the complete product offering, has been extended to include a stock of components for electronically controlled suspensions, air springs (commonly known as bellows), and electronically controlled dampers (variable stiffness and damping shock absorbers).
With this line, Japanparts Group, a specialist in Asian vehicle brands, has extended its coverage to include the major European and American brands. These additions range from VAG to FCA Groups, from Renault to PSA, and include applications for BMW, GM, Mercedes, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo, Cadillac, Hummer, Land Rover, Smart, Piaggio and DR.
The range for the Japanparts’ Ashika and Japko brands consists of:
- 1,969 part numbers for traditional shock absorbers with pre-part numbers MM-, MA- and MJ
- 16 part numbers for electronically controlled vehicle suspensions with prepart numbers MM-AS, MA-AS and MJ-AS
- 47 part numbers for air springs
- 38 variable stiffness and damping shock absorbers
- 10 part numbers for steering shock absorbers
- 7 part numbers for Piaggio shock absorbers
Shock absorber mounts are added to complete the service. These are inserted into the coil spring to strengthen the vehicle and control its suspension and dust protection kits. The dust protection kits (with just 6 part numbers) allow 92% coverage of on-road vehicles, perfectly compatible with traditional shock absorbers. To complete the offer, Japanparts introduced 31 electric lift spring part numbers in 2019.
From warehouse to vehicle
All the coded references are already available from the warehouse in Verona, allowing immediate delivery not only within Italy and the islands, but to all the countries where the group’s brands are distributed. The company increased the storage area in 2016, adding a warehouse dedicated exclusively to this product and covering a surface area of 18,000mÇ
Japanparts says that the production of the components entails high quality workmanship, and assembly includes a rigorous series of checks, designed to eliminate any possible non-compliance. The stem of each shock absorber is treated with high-resistance chrome-plating, combining NOK rings that stand out for a potentially longer service life and tightness. Precision welding and high-resistance treatments complete the production chain. The rubber used for the air springs is the ideal compromise between flexibility and strength, thereby ensuring constant performance over time and the various load-unload cycles.
The continuous implementation of these components is constantly being pushed in the product marketing department with the addition of new applications. The packaging has also been designed to ensure considerable space savings and ensure that the product is recognized immediately.
