The MEYLE-HD brand has introduced an enhanced control arm to fit Alfa Romeo 159, 159 Sportwagon, Brera and Spider models which is designed to outshine its OE rivals according to the development engineers at parent company Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG.

On the new arm the OE version's failure-prone rubber plain bearings have been replaced with a rubber component offering exceptional torsional resistance.

The reinforced bushing design is optimally geared to the high load levels incurred during operation, thereby maximising control arm performance on four Alfa Romeo models. Unlike their OE counterparts, the MEYLE-HD bushings only use steel and high-grade natural rubber. FEM analysis has confirmed a torsional loading case. By optimising part design and using a torsion-resistant rubber compound the MEYLE-HD control arm guarantees long service life and safe roadholding in any situation.

The new MEYLE-HD control arms to fit Alfa Romeo 159, 159 Sportwagon, Brera and Spider models are MEYLE ref.: 15-16 050 0014/HD and 15-16 050 0015/HD. These products will be available from stockist nationwide. For more information contact Strongline Autoparts on 01-462-4631.
