Good Vibes Only
with febi Rubber-Metal Parts
In the automotive industry, rubber-to-metal components are used wherever vibrations occur. Especially in the case of the drivetrain, that is, the engine and transmission, the noise and vibration-damping effect is absolutely necessary.
The task of rubber-to-metal parts on the suspension is, on the one hand, the elastic connection between the suspension components, and, on the other hand, the improvement of the steering behaviour and driving stability.
This is especially necessary with uneven road surfaces as well as braking and avoiding manoeuvres.
Rubber-to-metal parts provide more driving comfort and safety by absorbing and dampening vibrations.
Ferdinand Bilstein offers one of the broadest ranges in the field of rubber-to-metal in the spare parts market - of course, in tested OE matching quality. The product range includes, amongst other things, engine, cabin, stabiliser and cardan shaft centre bearings.
Damage Triggers and Symptoms
Spare parts can wear out due to environmental influences such as heat and cold, UV radiation and aggressive liquids and gases.
Overloading of the vehicle, poor road conditions and atypical stresses also damage rubber bearings and lead to premature failure. Typical damages are porous and hard rubber or a detachment of the rubber from the metal.
Defective rubber-to-metal parts should be replaced immediately, because in extreme cases further components can be affected by the defective bearing.
