NAPA Auto Parts has always delivered high-quality brands and range, but has recognised the need to expand the offering. A look towards the future shows a growing demand for mechanical products in the auto industry.

Napa Auto Parts has expanded into these new ranges to offer a complete solution to you, and provide the widest product range for all your auto part needs. Steering and suspension components are two of the most important systems in any vehicle, particularly in 4x4s designed for off-road use. The steering system must be precise, responsive, and durable. The suspension system is responsible for providing a smooth ride by absorbing shock and vibrations from the road surface. It also helps to maintain the tyre contact with the road, improving handling and stability.

These systems are particularly important for 4x4s, as they must handle the added weight and strain of off-road use. Heavy-duty components must be used to ensure the vehicle can navigate rough terrain without causing damage to the steering or suspension systems. Whether you’re crossing the Simpson or tackling a weekend away, NAPA Auto Parts has the 4×4 components you’ll need, backed by its own widely popular Drivetech4x4 range of steering and suspension products. It includes heavy-duty suspension lift kits, heavy-duty and extra heavy-duty coil and leaf springs, power-steering repair kits and components, rack and pump assemblies and shock absorbers.

The range also expands into steering components, including tie rod ends, drag links, idler arms, ball joints and more. Drivetech4x4 provides three different offerings in relation to shock-absorber and strut designs – Enduro, Enduro Pro and Foam Cell. In addition to this, Drivetech4x4 has multiple spring combinations offered, being a ‘H’ or ‘J’ series. The suffix in the part number determines which type of spring is in the kit. The first letter is the front spring and the second being the rear. The third letter relates to the series of dampers used. An ‘H’ spring is designed to give approximately 40-50mm lift, with a slight increase in load of approximately 50-100kg. The ‘J’ series is also designed to give approximately a 40-50mm lift, with an approximate additional weight-carrying capacity of 350kg – however, these springs require the vehicle to have a constant load applied of approximately 150-200kg.

It is imperative when using the ‘J’ springs that this additional weight is applied, as failure to do so will result in a harsh ride experience.
