Tie Rod End for Citroen C5 Aircross: Stainless Steel
This tie rod end for the Citroen C5 Aircross is specified around stainless steel, 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 packing that arrived crushed at the port, or a specification nobody had written down. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.
