CARDONE Industries has released more than 250 new parts this month, including parts that were previously only available through OE dealers. Customers seeking throttle bodies and constant velocity (CV) drive axles for certain Hyundai and Nissan models now have a reliable, cost-effective alternative to OE parts, according to CARDONE.

CARDONE’s January release covers all major product groups and includes parking brake motors and more than 125 domestic and import brake calipers.

“With this large release at the start of 2018, we’re continuing our push to give customers the breadth and depth of coverage that they expect from CARDONE,” said Tim McClave, senior director, product management. “We’re especially excited to be introducing part numbers that no other aftermarket new manufacturer is offering.”

CARDONE Select Throttle Bodies

This month, CARDONE released Select throttle bodies for a range of vehicles, including 2007-‘17 Nissan trucks. CARDONE says it is among the first manufacturers to offer an OE alternative to these high-demand parts for select Nissan trucks, which cover more than 2.4 million vehicles. Features include:

• 100 percent computerized testing of motor, throttle position sensor and articulation that ensures reliable and consistent performance
• Critical components — including housing, throttle plate, plastic cover with integrated electronics and position sensors, throttle actuator motor and throttle plate return spring — used in the manufacturing of the new electronic throttle body conform to OE dimensions and grade
