CARDONE Jump Starts 2018 With More Than 250 New Parts

CARDONE Industries has released more than 250 new parts this month, including parts that were previously only available through OE dealers. Customers seeking throttle bodies and constant velocity (CV) drive axles for certain Hyundai and Nissan models now have a reliable, cost-effective alternative to OE parts, according to CARDONE.

CARDONE’s January release covers all major product groups and includes parking brake motors and more than 125 domestic and import brake calipers.

“With this large release at the start of 2018, we’re continuing our push to give customers the breadth and depth of coverage that they expect from CARDONE,” said Tim McClave, senior director, product management. “We’re especially excited to be introducing part numbers that no other aftermarket new manufacturer is offering.”

CARDONE Select Throttle Bodies

This month, CARDONE released Select throttle bodies for a range of vehicles, including 2007-‘17 Nissan trucks. CARDONE says it is among the first manufacturers to offer an OE alternative to these high-demand parts for select Nissan trucks, which cover more than 2.4 million vehicles. Features include:

100 percent computerized testing of motor, throttle position sensor and articulation that ensures reliable and consistent performance
Critical components — including housing, throttle plate, plastic cover with integrated electronics and position sensors, throttle actuator motor and throttle plate return spring — used in the manufacturing of the new electronic throttle body conform to OE dimensions and grade

CARDONE Select Constant Velocity Drive Axles

CARDONE’s CV drive axle release includes parts for 2013-‘16 Hyundai Elantras, making CARDONE among the first manufacturers of OE alternative parts for these applications, the company says.

Through reverse engineering, CARDONE’s engineers identified OE design weaknesses and improved both boot clamp and spline function. Features include:

100-percent neoprene boots that resist bellow stress and ozone cracking with additional bellows
New axle nut supplied with every unit for hassle-free installation
Each axle is designed, tested and measured after assembly to ensure proper fit
Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped creating a perfect seal between the boot and housing
CARDONE Select Engineered (CSE) Technology ensures that all CV axles meet or exceed OE form, fit and function
High-quality grease withstands high-temperature and high-torque demands to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance
Splines are precision rolled to ensure proper fit of axle into the mating hub and transmission, which eliminates installation hassles
Threads are precision rolled to ensure proper fit when axle nut is installed
