When replacing a vehicle component, it is vital that the replacement part is up to the task. Optimal takes PMF through the benefits of the TÜV certification, and discusses why its parts can leave vehicle owners safe in the knowledge that their vehicle has been looked after.
Optimal provides TÜV-certified steering and suspension components, for its range of over 8,500 references. The company’s components are manufactured using precision machines, and cover areas from cast and sheet steel to lightweight aluminium materials, with the range including components such as CFW dust covers, high performance lubricants and cathodic dip coating.
The steering and suspension range includes ball joints, tie rods, track control arms, stabiliser links, bushes and mountings, amongst others.
In many instances of poor handling, it may only be necessary to replace bushes. With this in mind, Optimal’s 3,000+ references encompass 175,000 applications. This is particularly important given that deteriorated bushes are one of the most frequent MOT advisories in the UK. On top of this, the company’s rubberto- metal parts range consists of over 3,000 references and over 191,000 applications, including strut bearings, suspension arm bearings, and steering and joint bellows.
Having its products certified by TÜV gives Optimal the confidence that its products are high quality and reliable. Only after passing rigorous testing can a product carry the TÜV mark of approval, with products tested for safety, quality and sustainability before being given TÜV status.
Optimal’s entire product range has recently been updated with over 38,000 product lines and 1.3 million applications on Autocat, giving the company V8 Autocat status. Automate online has also been added to the Optimal process, allowing the company to be more flexible when updating data that will be live the following day. This means that customers will be able to have access to the most up to date products at all times.
