The premium parts program focuses on all makes and models and consists of control arms, tie rods, stabilizer links, ball joints, tie rod ends and assemblies, idler and pitman arms and bushings. According to TRW, the program has some key differentiators, including low-friction plastic seat technology and inclusion of all installation hardware and fitting instructions in the box, saving the technician time and avoiding fitment issues.
