The Impact of High-Quality Raw Materials in U-Bolt Manufacturing
At Tekay Automotive, we understand that the foundation of durable and high-performing U-bolts lies in the quality of the raw materials used. As a company with over 70 years of OEM production experience, we are committed to sourcing and processing only the finest materials to meet the demanding requirements of global vehicle manufacturers.
Why Raw Material Quality Matters
U-bolts are critical components in mechanical and air suspension systems. They bear the vehicle’s load, ensure axle alignment, and contribute to overall road safety. Any compromise in raw material quality can lead to failures such as deformation, corrosion, or breakage under stress.
