Timing Chain for Subaru Forester: EPDM Rubber
This timing chain for the Subaru Forester is specified around epdm rubber, 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 supplier who changed material without saying so, or a specification nobody had written down. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
