The programme provides workshops with a wide range of remanufactured original brake calipers from various manufacturers. The programme is constantly updated, and a strict quality management system monitors the entire process. If brake calipers need to be replaced, it is advisable to change them in pairs per front and rear axle in order to prevent uneven wear of brake discs and pads. www.boschaftermarket.com First Line: New-To- Range steering and suspension First Line has recently added 20 new references to its steering and suspension programme in.
