Federal-Mogul's Wagner(R) Family of Wheel-End Products and Systems Delivering Winning Performance On and Off the Track
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 7 -- The success of any NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series Team depends not only on the performance of the driver
and crew, but hundreds of precision-crafted parts and systems. Among the most
important systems on every NASCAR Truck can be found at the wheel-end, where
the growing family of Wagner brake products enjoys a reputation for
unsurpassed reliability under the most grueling conditions.
Wagner brake products are manufactured by Federal-Mogul Corporation
, a global supplier of automotive and heavy-duty engine, undercar,
fuel system and visibility components. For more than 100 years, Wagner has
been the leading brand of quality brake components, including drums, rotors,
master cylinders, wheel cylinders, calipers, brake lines and hoses, brake
fluid, shoes, pads, hardware and cables.
"Wagner is a leading brand of brakes not only among the world's best
racing teams, but the hundreds of thousands of talented professionals who
repair cars and trucks," said Jay Burkhart, vice president of strategic
planning and marketing for Federal-Mogul. "That reputation is the result of
more than a century of innovation and unmatched quality, and we're committed
to building on these strengths through new technologies that deliver superior
performance for all of our customers."
Wagner brake products include a broad family of friction components,
including the revolutionary ThermoQuiet LT(TM), the first brake pad engineered
specifically for today's light trucks, sport utility vehicles and minivans.
Other premium Wagner friction products include PowerMax(TM) brake pads and
shoes, which offer platform-specific formulas for most passenger cars and
light and medium-duty trucks; SEVEREDUTY(TM) brake pads, for commercial
vehicles noted for frequent stopping, heavy loads and extreme heat; and new
Guardian(TM) brake pads, for excellent performance and value on a broad range
of applications.
Federal-Mogul also offers a complete line of Wagner brake hydraulics,
including master cylinders, wheel cylinders, brake hose, brake cable,
hardware, fluids, chemicals and remanufactured parts. Among the brand's
latest breakthroughs is the new E-Z Bleed master cylinder, which reduces bench
bleeding time from 30 minutes to just three minutes, enabling technicians to
complete more repairs each day.
The Wagner line also includes ready-to-install drums and rotors for most
domestic and import passenger cars and light trucks. All Wagner drums and
rotors are produced using state-of-the-art robotics and quality control
processes to ensure that the parts provide an exact fit and outstanding
performance on every application.
In addition to Wagner brake products, the Federal-Mogul family of wheel-
end components includes National(R) oil seals and BCA(R) antifriction bearings
-- both leading brands.
"Automotive and heavy-duty wheel-ends are incredibly complex systems that
play a crucial role in vehicle performance and safety," Burkhart said. "Our
customers -- professionals and consumers alike -- understand the value of
well-respected brands and technologies. That's why Wagner, National and BCA
are the first choices for most wheel-end repairs."
