To help us maintain the “Ultimate” in performance and quality of our steering units, we support our customers participating in different forms of motorsport.
We believe that if our Steering Units can perform and excel in the harsh and very demanding forms of motorsport then all our customers can benefit, because the things we learn from our steering units used in motorsport we can implement into our everyday steering units.
Ultimate Power Steering and Manual Steering units are used in -
