      • The ideal connection between steering system and steering knuckle

      • Optimum straight-line running of a car ensures driving comfort, controllability and reduced tire wear. To ensure that passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles always stay on the ideal track, high-quality LEMFÖRDER tie rods should always be used for repairs. They perfectly transfer the steering movements of the driver to the front wheels of the vehicle and enable the workshop to adjust the toe-in precisely and sensitively.

      • LEMFÖRDER tie rods for passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles ensure precise steering and safe handling. The forces introduced into the steering gear are transmitted via the inner axial joint through the tie rod to the outer ball joint, the tie rod end piece. A thread in the middle of the wheel allows for sensitive adjustment of both wheels.

      • The connections and joints of the tie rod in particular place high demands on the design. LEMFÖRDER offers a wide range of high-quality solutions, optimized for installation spaces and the materials. Know-how acquired over decades in research and development pays off, especially with LEMFÖRDER products for the aftermarket.

    • High-tech for front and rear axle


      • A key component to maintaining a vehicle’s stability on a curve incline or driving on uneven surfaces is the cohesive and reliable interaction of all chassis components. LEMFÖRDER stabilizer links, also known as sway bar links, transmit forces between the chassis and bodywork and ensure maximum driving comfort at all times.

      • Depending on the type of construction, stabilizer links in the front axle and/or in the rear axle of the vehicle create the necessary connections which guarantee an optimal interaction of wheel guide and stabilizer. Sway is minimized, thus ensuring steady and safe road holding.
      • As an alternative to conventional steel stabilizer links, LEMFÖRDER has developed sway bar links made of weight-saving high-tech materials to production maturity. A lightweight innovation from ZF, for example, is a pendulum support in hybrid construction. It is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), polyamide and high-strength steel. The intelligent mix of materials reduces weight without making the product more expensive. In the development of electric vehicles in particular, the aim is to reduce weight in order to ultimately achieve higher ranges and longer battery life.

      • The ball joints at both ends of LEMFÖRDER stabilizer links meet the highest demands. The high quality material selection and workmanship ensure improved joint guiding behavior, ideal sealing, minimized noise transmission and a long service life.

    • OEM quality for the aftermarket


      • One component of a car's steering system is the steering lever, which experts also call a relay lever or pitman arm. The steering lever as part of the steering of cars, vans or light commercial vehicles is an important component with regards to the optimum transfer of the steering motion to the wheels. LEMFÖRDER steering levers are robust and reliably manufactured, durable products.

      Safety in every situation


      • The movements of the steering wheel are transmitted via the steering gear, the steering rod and the steering levers to the stub axles and thus to the front wheels. Therefore, the axial rotation of the steering wheel affects the steering lever.

      • In many cases a lever equipped with a high quality bearing is used on the other end of the drag link: the idler arm.

      • Important note for repair and replacement: The tracking must be reset afterwards if the steering lever, the idler arm, or the entire steering linkage are touched.

    • Securely in contact with the wheels


      • LEMFÖRDER provides many different, vehicle-specific types of control arms, also for complex axle constructions: from guide rods, track rods and tension struts via control arms through to suspension ball joints or supporting joints. In the case of independent suspensions, the wheel carrier can be connected to the vehicle body with up to five control arms. Depending on the customer requirement, the components are either set up for comfortable or dynamic driving properties. Depending on the construction type, either 2-point links, 3-point links or, on rare occasions, 4-point links are used. Besides steel control arms, LEMFÖRDER also develops and manufactures light, premium aluminum control arms.

      • The control arms undertake the task of wheel guidance and frequently also transfer spring, damper and stabilizer forces.

      LEMFÖRDER control arms offer many advantages


      • Accurate wheel guidance
      • Increased driving comfort due to vibration damping
      • Precise individual steering behavior which increases driving safety
      • Perfect wheel guidance and control arm connection due to precisely adjusted ball joints and link mounts

    • Precise Mobility


      • Suspension joints are integrated into the control arms, pressed-in or flange-mounted. Alternatively, they can be pressed or screwed into the wheel carrier. A distinction is made between guide and suspension joints for passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. While the guide joint generally transmits only longitudinal and lateral forces with a low proportion of vertical forces, the vehicle weight is additionally supported by the support joint.

    • Intelligent Active Engine Damping


      • The requirements for engine mounts are becoming more demanding. Modern engines work with cylinder shutdown, higher compression and speed reduction. They are designed to save fuel, keep up with the latest driving dynamics and to offer maximum comfort in the passenger compartment. This means minimal noise and vibration. With the self-developed 'active engine mount system', LEMFÖRDER exceeds these requirements. Electronically switchable engine mounts by LEMFÖRDER convince in every situation.

      • Electronically switchable engine mounts by LEMFÖRDER increase the possibilities of conventional hydraulic engine mounts. If you extend a hydromount with an actuator, equip it with sensors and a control unit, it can be actively controlled - according to the current requirements - and can adapt to any situation.

      • Depending on the motor excitation frequency, the motor mount dampens either hydraulically, passively or actively. The isolation characteristic is calculated by the control unit and converted by the actuator so that no vibration is transmitted to the subframe of the car.

    • More Comfort in the Passenger Cabin


      • A solid combination of rubber and metal creates multifunctional LEMFÖRDER automotive components that transmit forces, enable defined movements, isolate noise and dampen vibrations. Therefore, vibrations and noise caused by the transmission or the engine are hardly noticeable in modern vehicles - thanks to vibration-optimized concepts with innovative and safe powertrain mounts.

      For Stability and Safe Steering


      • How does the vehicle respond in the event of road unevenness, braking under maximum load and evasive maneuvers? The elastic connection of premium rubber-to-metal components between the individual chassis components has a decisive impact on this.

      • LEMFÖRDER rubber bearings for the chassis ensure sound absorption, ideal steering behavior and driving stability, even in critical situations. The product range consists of suspension strut mounts and all different kinds of axle bearings. In the case of the axle bearings, a distinction is made between link mounts, axle beam mounts, subframe bearings and stabilizer mounts. In addition to the ball joint, the rubber-bonded metal mount is the most important type of joint in the wheel guidance of the chassis. It forms the elastic connection between the individual chassis components, such as the control arm and the vehicle body or the axle carrier. Through the specific sizing and shaping of these parts, it is possible to influence the tuning of the chassis.
