Tie Rod End for BMW X5: ABS Plastic
This tie rod end for the BMW X5 is specified around abs plastic, 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 fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
