For a new generation

11 January 2013  

Japanese OE supplier JTEKT is now distributing its advanced ‘Generation III’ bearings throughout the UK via KPS Automotive. The maker says the third generation has a number of improvements over previous designs – notably, the integration of one of the mounting spigots as part of the bearing. The benefit of this includes an increased stiffness in the bearing and increased braking performance by reducing the amount of judder. These bearings are available now for a wide range of applications, as are a range of tensioner and idlers from the same brand.
