Steering Column for Ford Transit: Neoprene
This steering column for the Ford Transit is specified around neoprene, 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 premature wear on the first batch, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The specification above is the one most often ordered for food delivery. Related applications include long-distance touring, airport ground fleets, ride-hailing fleets, adventure travel, weekend riding.
Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 1.5 sampling on every lot.
- Dimensional report issued against the approved drawing.
- Carton marking and barcode to your specification.
- 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 500 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 E-mark-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
