Federal-Mogul Selected Babcox Readers' Choice for 1999

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 19 -- Federal-Mogul Corporation
has been selected as a 1999 Readers' Choice for its Moog(R) and
Wagner(R) products by those who read ImportCar and Brake & Front End, two
Babcox Publications magazines.  This honor means that Federal-Mogul has proven
to be one of the "foremost communicators in the industry," according to Babcox
readers.
    "It's nice to receive awards, but it is particularly gratifying to be
recognized by one of our largest and best customers," said Jay Burkhart, vice
president, Strategic Planning and Marketing.  "It indicates that they not only
value our great products but also our sales and marketing program."
    Owners of professional repair shops receiving Babcox magazines
participated in a nationwide survey of advertising readership and advertising
recall via a research questionnaire.  The readers stated that Federal-Mogul
was among the most successful business communicators by reporting exceptional
advertising recall and powerful readership of the company's ads.
    Brake & Front End reaches the 41,000 professional repair shops that
concentrate on under-the-car service.  ImportCar is an import service
magazine, and is received by 29,000 import repair shop operators across the
country.
