MOOG^® Wins AAPEX ‘New Product Showcase’ Award

MOOG Complete Knuckle Assembly Earns Award in ‘Hard Parts’ Category

Southfield, Mich., November 8, 2017…Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ industry-leading MOOG^® Steering and Suspension brand has once again been recognized for its premium-quality products.  The MOOG Complete Knuckle Assembly was recently awarded an Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) “New Product Showcase” award in the “Hard Parts” category.  There are a total of only nine New Product Showcase awards given.  Pre-registered AAPEX buyers determine the winning New Product Showcase entries by voting electronically for their favorite products prior to AAPEX.

MOOG premium-quality complete knuckle assemblies dramatically simplify bearing replacement and save time on several popular late-model passenger vehicle applications. They include all of the premium components pre-assembled for a complete repair:  MOOG knuckle and backing plate with corrosion-resistant E-coat; MOOG wheel hub; National^® bearing; axle nut; and lock ring.  By relying on this comprehensive, bolt-on solution, service providers can save time and eliminate the need for special tools or a press, resulting in an easier installation.

“MOOG complete knuckle assemblies compose a truly engineered product that saves technicians' installation time and streamlines bearing replacement on a variety of passenger vehicle models,” said Christine Tower, Wheelend Senior Product Line Manager, Chassis, Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “We are honored that buyers attending the AAPEX show have recognized this product for its innovative design that improves the end-user experience.”
