Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Material Innovation: The Pro’s 7075 aluminum alloy provides 40% higher tensile strength than steel, ideal for high-performance applications.
    • Universal Fitment: Advanced CAD modeling ensures compatibility across 20+ Kia/related models, reducing inventory costs by 35%.
    • Corrosion Shield: The Pro’s ceramic-nano coating outperforms industry standards (ASTM B117), withstanding 1,000+ hours of salt-spray testing.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Suitable for budget repairs or light-duty vehicles (e.g., Picanto).
    • Advanced Model: Ideal for mainstream models (e.g., K3/K5) needing weight reduction without compromising strength.
    • Pro Model: Engineers recommend this for high-mileage or off-road vehicles (e.g., Sorento) requiring extreme durability.

Example Use Case: With the Pro’s ceramic coating, you can safely install the control arm in coastal regions where salt corrosion is prevalent. Its 7075 alloy also enables 25% less flex under heavy loads compared to steel, ensuring precise steering feedback.
