Accessories
If you need a refill on one of these items just check the “PA” partnumber and change it in “N” to order a bag of 10 pieces.
For example: you ran out of PA17003, just order N17003 and you get a refill of 10 pieces.
Set self locking nuts
Ref. 17000
The nylon insert wraps around the thread and locks the nut in place, making it unaffected by vibrations. When you want to reuse a nyloc nut, the nylon insert is often damaged during disassembly. To ensure a safe assembly it is always better to replace these nuts by new ones. Since the repair of steering and suspension parts often includes the disassembly of several other parts there is an unmistakable need for extra nyloc nuts.
Set jam nuts
Ref. 17002
Jam nuts are used on the tie rods to prevent the tie rod ends from loosening due to vibration. We created an easy to carry box with all common jam nuts, this to ensure a clever repair.
Set dust cover rings
Ref. 17004
Dust cover rings should only be mounted once due to plastic deformation. Always use new rings after demounting a dust cover to establish the strength needed for optimal sealing.

Each intervention at the suspension or steering parts directly affects the wheel positions. The smallest deviation in camber, caster or toe has an impact on tire wear, changed driving behavior and vehicle stability.
Professional wheel alignment requires more than just modern equipment. It also requires insight into vehicle technology, interpretation of data as well as manufacturers knowhow.
