First Line is well known for its steering and suspension range and continues to expand it offering which now stretches to over 8,500 references. The company works hard to ensure its portfolio is not only comprehensive but also market relevant and meeting the latest aftermarket requirements.
However, it is not just the depth of range that has made the brand the preferred choice of many factors and their workshop customers. One of the many other benefits offered by the range is that technicians can be sure when they are installing the part, they will have the required nuts, bolts or accessories needed, making installation more convenient.
As a reminder of this key feature, all Ball Joints, Link Bars, and Suspension Arms, that as standard come with the necessary fitting components, now bear the new 'Includes Fittings' logo on the packaging. Plus, this logo will also be found, as a watermark image, when looking up First Line Steering and Suspension references in online cataloguing systems, such as MAM AutoCat as well as their own WebCat.
First Line also say that all products match the OE specification, so when vehicle manufacturers use new technologies, such as Hydraulic Bushes and Hybrid Link Bars, the First Line component follow suit.
Examples to look out for include the Hybrid Link Bars fitted on later models of the BMW 1 and 3 series, MINI, Audi A3 and VW Golf. These are manufactured from a combination of high strength steel and carbon-firbe reinforced plastic, designed for being much lighter than the conventional type.
In response to customer demand, First Line has also developed a range of over 60 Heavy Duty Stabiliser Link Bars, where the specification of the original item has been enhanced for certain harder working vehicles, to offer greater longevity of service life and product performance.
To further aid the efficient identification of its Steering and Suspension components, First Line has added positioning layout images to their WebCat, which has been proven to significantly reduce the look-up time.
All First Line Steering and Suspension products are backed-up with a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty against manufacturing defects.
