Ball Joint for Ford Transit: Magnesium Alloy
This ball joint for the Ford Transit is specified around magnesium alloy, 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 a specification nobody had written down, or reorders that did not match the approved sample. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.
