shibumi®’s 4WD SERIES tie rod ends and ball joints are made to meet the market’s stringent requirements for 4x4, 4x2, and heavy-duty vehicles in general.

These robust parts are manufactured of high-quality materials that guarantee both stability and maneuverability of vehicles under extreme operating conditions.

shibumi®’s 4WD SERIES is a line of high-performance products for those who have to deal with the toughest conditions at work.

Metallographic analysis

Both PLUS 500® and 4WD SERIES® parts are manufactured using alloys of metals such as: steel, carbon, manganese, chrome, nickel, copper, and aluminum.

The manganese and chrome levels on the end connector ball are greater than those on the body of each part. This is done to improve the resistance of these parts to the extreme mechanical working conditions to which they are subjected.

The precise adjustment of the size of the ball and the diameter of the end connector eyelet guarantees that the part perfectly fits in the suspension system.

The quality of the mechanical components of the 4WD SERIES® parts clearly differs from that of the PLUS 500® parts because they are used on vehicles that operate under the most demanding conditions.

PLUS 500® and 4WD SERIES® are two excellent developments of shibumi®, the leading brand in steering and suspension systems for those who are looking for high-quality, long-lasting, and outstanding performance parts at a fair price.
