| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Ford OEM Engineering Partnership | Developed in collaboration with Ford engineering to ensure exact compatibility with Ford hub specifications rather than generic fitment. This partnership approach delivers superior alignment precision and eliminates the guesswork associated with universal cones, providing consistent results on problematic Ford models that typically struggle with standard centering solutions. |
| Ultra-Low 3° Angle Design | The shallow 3° taper closely matches Ford hub bore angles for optimal contact and secure positioning without excessive force or adjustment. This precision angle eliminates the common centering issues that cause false imbalance readings, reducing the need for repeated balancing attempts and ensuring accurate results on the first try. |
| Integrated Fixed Finger Plate | The fixed finger plate system provides additional stability and eliminates lateral movement that can compromise centering accuracy. This integrated design ensures true wheel positioning throughout the balancing process, preventing the wobble and shifting issues commonly experienced with separate or adjustable finger plate systems on Ford applications. |
| Vibration Troubleshooting Accuracy | Precise centering eliminates centering-related vibration issues, allowing technicians to accurately diagnose genuine wheel balance problems versus false readings caused by poor cone fit. This diagnostic accuracy reduces costly comebacks, improves customer satisfaction, and streamlines the troubleshooting process when addressing steering wheel vibration or ride quality complaints. |
| 28mm Shaft Compatibility | Designed specifically for COATS wheel balancers with 28mm shafts, ensuring perfect spindle fit and optimal performance integration. This precise compatibility maintains balancer accuracy specifications while providing the specialized Ford centering capability that generic accessories cannot deliver, making it an essential tool for Ford-focused service operations. |
