In the world of automotive suspension components, performance depends not only on design but also on the materials behind it. At Tekay Automotive, we manufacture U-bolts using Grade 10.9 steel, a high-strength alloy engineered for resilience, reliability, and road-tested performance. 🔩 What is Grade 10.9 Steel? Grade 10.9 refers to a fastener classification under the

At Tekay, product protection is as important as product strength. That’s why we’ve developed a dedicated U-Bolt packaging process that reflects our core values of durability, efficiency, and customer focus. U-Bolts are essential components used in suspension systems of commercial vehicles. Their quality must be preserved from factory to final destination — and that begins

When it comes to heavy-duty automotive parts like U-Bolts, strength and precision are non-negotiable. One of the most important steps to achieve this is Cold Drawing — a process that turns raw steel into a high-performance material ready for forming and finishing. What is Cold Drawing? Cold Drawing is a metalworking process where steel bars

In precision manufacturing, the quality of raw material processing is just as important as design. At Tekay, our in-house Cold Drawing Line, installed in 2023, plays a crucial role in producing high-performance U-bolts that meet strict OEM standards. What is Cold Drawing? Cold drawing is a metal forming process where steel rods or bars are

In 2006, Tekay achieved a significant environmental milestone by earning the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification. This globally respected certification affirms our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, sustainable practices, and compliance with international environmental standards. What Is ISO 14001? ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard that provides the framework for implementing an effective

In heavy-duty vehicle suspension systems, the reliability and performance of leaf springs depend heavily on the harmony of three critical components: center bolts (stud bolts), bushings, and U-bolts. These parts don’t just support the structure—they define it. At TEKAY, we produce all three in-house to ensure they work together seamlessly and meet OEM standards in

Center bolts may appear simple, but they are structurally essential components within a vehicle’s leaf spring suspension system. At Tekay Automotive, we manufacture center bolts with the same attention to precision and quality as our U-Bolts and spring bushings. These bolts pass through the center of the leaf spring pack, clamping all layers together to
