Common product defectives in the aftermarket

The automotive aftermarket plays a crucial role in maintaining vehicle longevity and performance, particularly in the realm of suspension components. Suspension systems are integral to vehicle stability, safety, and ride comfort, necessitating high standards of quality and precision. Unfortunately, numerous aftermarket suspension parts are plagued by defects that can compromise vehicle performance and safety. Understanding these common product defectives is essential for both consumers and wholesale business.

Why your products more light than original

Questions: One of the most frequently observed issues in aftermarket suspension parts is inadequate material quality. Many manufacturers opt for lower-grade materials to reduce costs, resulting in components that may not withstand the rigors of everyday driving. For instance, Control Arms made from substandard metals may suffer from premature fatigue or fracture, particularly under stress during aggressive driving or heavy loads. In addition to reduced durability, inferior materials can lead to corrosion, further compromising the integrity of suspension components over time.

CORSSING Products: Quality products were developed as per original sample, with strictly inspection since the products develop, material, production to finished goods.

Solution: Common weight problems are reflected in the following aspects

Different thickness of metal: we can compare it with the original samples to avoid it
Change to different material: for example aluminum to metal, metal block change to rubber or plastic
Simplify the process: for example original engine mount with inner hydraulic flow, many aftermarket will remove it to save the cost.
Replace the antifreeze with a more diluted antifreeze

Reasons your products cannot be installed.

Questions: Another prevalent defect concerns the precision of parts. Suspension systems rely on precise geometries and dimensions to function correctly. Aftermarket parts, in contrast to OEM components, sometimes exhibit inadequate tolerances. For example, improperly machined Struts or Shock Absorbers can lead to poor alignment and suspension geometry, resulting in uneven tire wear and compromised handling. More worse is can’t install it due to the wrong dimension.

Reasons: The following are the reasons for the difference in product size:

First, the development is not based on the original product, resulting in size discrepancies.
The second is that the development process is not well controlled, which is a data technology defect.
The third is that in order to save costs, some factories do not use one mold for each product during the development process, opting instead for universal molds, which increases variability in product size.

Why the products damaged in such a short time?

Questions: Furthermore, improper manufacturing processes can introduce defects into aftermarket suspension parts. Issues such as poor welding, inadequate heat treatment, or substandard finishing processes can lead to components that do not perform as intended. Failed welds in Engine Mounting or a lack of proper surface treatment for shock absorbers can result in catastrophic failures.

CORSSING Products:

Use Robot arm welding by enhancing precision, speed, and efficiency in the welding process. Equipped with advanced sensors and control systems, robotic arms can execute complex welds with consistent quality, reducing human error and minimizing material waste.
To avoid inadequate heat treatment during manufacturing, a strict quality control process is essential, includes precise temperature monitoring and time management throughout the heat treatment cycle. Utilizing calibrated thermal sensors ensures accurate measurements, while adopting standardized procedures mitigates variability.
This process quality control applies to all production processes

Why does the product rubber have a pungent smell?

Questions: In the previous article, we introduced in detail the common rubber raw materials used in automotive parts. Each type of rubber has properties that affect the odor. Natural rubber contains proteins and other organic compounds, some of which produce volatile compounds during the processing and curing stages. These compounds form the characteristic odor of natural rubber.
Why does the product have a pungent smell?
The pungent smell of rubber products comes from a variety of factors, including raw materials, chemical composition, manufacturing processes, and environmental influences. Both natural and synthetic rubbers produce a distinctive odor due to the presence of volatile organic compounds and byproducts formed during processing.

CROSSING Products all adopted imported natural rubber raw materials, which greatly improve the durability of the product and can perform well in extreme high and low temperature weather.

Conclusion

Through the above common product problems, their causes and solutions, we hope that consumers can choose products more rationally. This is why the same products have large price differences in the after-sales market.

Behind a quality product contains its design and development, raw material composition, processing and production process quality control, product inspection and testing.
