Origins
The business behind FUHRLENK started in 1995 with the design, development and distribution of parts for the modern vehicle. Three decades later that experience covers European and Japanese vehicle platforms.
FUHRLENK is the brand of the group dedicated to the suspension and the steering: the parts that carry the wheel, keep it aligned with the body and turn it.

What suspension and steering parts are built for
The suspension and steering systems absorb road shocks, keep the tyre in contact with the road and give the driver precise control of the vehicle. These are the jobs FUHRLENK makes its parts for, and where each one matters.
| Property | Where it matters |
|---|---|
| Absorbing road shocks | Control arms and their bushings, axle beams and suspension kits: the parts that let the wheel move over the road while the body stays level |
| Keeping the tyre on the road | Stabiliser links and the bar they serve: less body roll in corners and more of the tyre in contact with the road |
| Precise control | Steering gears, inner tie rods and tie rod ends: the movement of the steering wheel reaches the road wheel without play |
| Steering effort | Hydraulic power steering pumps: fluid circulated under pressure so the steering stays light at parking speeds |
| Quality and testing | OEM-compliant quality and aftermarket spare parts, made to the geometry of the original and tested for durability and temperature resistance |
| Coverage | European and Japanese passenger cars, each reference identified by the OE number of the original part |
