Trailing Arm for Ford Transit: Carbon Fibre Composite
This trailing arm for the Ford Transit is specified around carbon fibre composite, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is warranty claims traced back to a single lot, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

- Golden sample retained at the factory as the reorder reference.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
