Auto spare parts from Japan

Our company has long been engaged in spare parts for cars, motorcycles and special equipment.

Auto spare parts from Japan

We would like to write several articles about spare parts, their manufacturers and characteristics in Japan.

More than 20,000 spare parts can be used in one car. These are body parts, electronics, wiring, fuel equipment, plastic parts and interior trim.

One manufacturer cannot create all of this at their own factories — a very laborious process and narrow specialization. Therefore, several companies are engaged in production. For example, DENSO manufactures electronics that can be installed on equipment from different manufacturers (TOYOTA, NISSAN, MAZDA, etc.), MITSUBOSHI makes belts, NTN / KOYO makes bearings, AISIN makes steering racks, water pumps.

The main parts of the car can be divided into several groups:

  • Separate spare part (Filter, belt, bolt, lever). As a rule, these parts are manufactured at the car manufacturer factories, and consumables are also manufactured at the factories of subsidiaries and at the facilities of non-original manufacturers.
  • ASSEMBLY / ASSY — a spare part consisting of two or more component parts. (Water pump, brake booster, transmission, steering rack). These parts have a complex layout and require testing during assembly. Therefore, they try not to sell them in separate parts. Because usual user will not be able to repair a steering rail without special equipment, and it is responsible for the safety and life.
  • KIT — a set of several spare parts for repairing unit. (Main brake cylinder repair kit, engine gasket set). It is completed from individual spare parts and after completing the total cost becomes lower if all parts are ordered separately. Sometimes these kits have already been discontinued and only individual parts can be ordered.
  • SET — a set of spare parts for large and small spare parts for installation on equipment. (a set of mudguards, sun visors, floor mats). These kits are offered by the manufacturer independently to reduce labor costs for finding additional installation materials and installation on equipment without special skills. Usually accompanied by installation instructions.

In the next article, we will tell you about the original, not the original manufacturer. Our company YUMBO offers assistance in ordering and selecting spare parts for all types of Japanese equipment.

You can always ask us a question — we will try to answer as professionally as possible.
