Staying on Track

Many of the roads used by commercial vehicles are not in an ideal condition. The chassis and steering are therefore often exposed to extreme loads which, in turn, increases the quality requirements for wear parts. For this reason, febi only offers steering and suspension components in tested, OE matching quality.
