Tie Rod End for Audi Q5: Reinforced Nylon
This tie rod end for the Audi Q5 is specified around reinforced nylon, 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 a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
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.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
