Continental adds new wishbone bushings and ball joints

Continental has added new wishbone bushings and ball joints to its suspension and steering parts range. According to the company, all the parts offer excellent fit and durability, allowing repair jobs to be carried out safely and to a reliably high standard.

Continental says it is also set to launch new stabiliser links next month (March). Following on from the wheel bearings newly introduced last autumn, this means an extensive selection of drive belts, belt drive components, steering and suspension parts will now be available, along with the associated kits, tools and services.

The new components are available to order with immediate effect, with a five-year guarantee included.

Small parts, big impact
Wishbone bushings and ball joints soak up vibrations, making driving safe and comfortable. The key here is an optimal bond of rubber and metal – which Continental says has been its core expertise for decades now. Examples of the company’s products in this area include air spring systems and anti-vibration elements for rail vehicles, and mounts for machines weighing several metric tons.

Continental says it has now carried this expertise over into the automotive aftermarket. As far as suspension components are concerned, 310 products types in the wishbone bushing and ball joint product groups are always in stock. This allows fitters to cover around 70 per cent of applications in the current European vehicle parc – in cars ranging from treasured recent classics to the Tesla Model S and other modern BEVs.
