Washer fluid tanks
The washer fluid reservoir is a key part of the windshield cleaning system, storing fluid that is pumped to the windshield or headlights. Made from durable, chemical- and temperature-resistant plastic, it ensures long-lasting performance. Modern versions may feature washer pumps, fluid level sensors, and heaters to prevent freezing. Each reservoir is tailored to specific vehicle models for easy installation and reliable system operation.
Towing hooks
The towing eye is a detachable steel component that screws into a threaded socket in the bumper reinforcement, enabling safe towing. Made of high-strength steel, it withstands heavy forces and is engineered to match each vehicle model for proper load transfer. Typically stored in the trunk, the towing eye should always be used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Brake disc back plates
Brake disc back plates are mounted on the steering knuckle or hubs to protect the discs from dirt, water, and stones. Made from steel or aluminum sheet, they resist high temperatures and corrosion. By shielding the discs, they help maintain optimal braking performance and reduce the risk of overheating pads and discs.
Suspension subframes
The front suspension frame is a vital chassis component, linking the wheel to the vehicle body and enabling controlled vertical movement. Typically made of steel or aluminum, it offers stiffness, durability, and resistance to dynamic loads. Working with ball joints, bushings, and shock absorbers, it ensures stability and ride comfort. Its geometry is crucial for handling, influencing wheel alignment, camber, and response to road irregularities.
Air filter housings
The air filter housing is a key part of the intake system, shielding the filter element from contaminants and mechanical damage. Typically made of heat- and chemical-resistant plastics, it ensures a secure fit and optimal airflow for engine performance. In some designs, it integrates airflow sensors, temperature sensors, or resonators to reduce intake noise.
Battery mounts
The battery base is a structural element that secures and stabilizes the battery within the engine compartment, preventing movement during driving. Made of durable plastic or metal, it resists vibrations, moisture, and chemicals. Designed with mounting holes and guides, it ensures safe installation, reliable operation, and easy servicing or replacement.
Wiper mechanisms
The front wiper mechanism is a system of components that drives the wiper arms across the windshield to remove water, snow, and debris. It typically includes an electric motor and linkages that ensure smooth, synchronized wiper blade movement. Designed for efficiency, these mechanisms feature multiple operating modes—intermittent, continuous, and automatic return-to-rest.
Windscreen seals
The windscreen seal is a flexible element that provides a tight bond between the glass and the vehicle body. It protects the cabin from water, dust, wind, and noise while damping vibrations during driving. In modern vehicles, seals are often integrated with bonded glass systems, enhancing body strength. Their precise fit ensures durability and delivers a clean, aesthetic finish to the vehicle’s front.
