Steering Column for Volkswagen Amarok: Magnesium Alloy
This steering column for the Volkswagen Amarok 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 supplier who changed material without saying so, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
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.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
