UPPER CONTROL ARMS From Terrain Tamer
Traditionally, Independent Front Suspension systems have allowed only a small adjustment range for successful wheel alignment. This is particularly true of lifted vehicles, causing issues with camber, caster, ball joint articulation and clearance of the coil assembly. Terrain Tamer has recently released a range of Upper Control Arms, which work to provide a solution for any IFS vehicle up to 70mm. These Upper Control Arms correct steering alignment by allowing greater clearance to the coil assembly and, thanks to their extended length, more articulation of the arm.
A ONE STOP SHOP For wholesale performance exhausts
From Manta’s origins in 1974 – when it was established as Australia’s first exhaust wholesaler – to today, Manta says it has built a global reputation for manufacturing premium performance exhaust systems. In the 40+ years since its inception, Manta explains that its customer base has grown across the world thanks to its commitment to quality products, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and exceptional service. Recognising the opportunity to expand its offerings to products outside of the core Manta range, Manta established MPI Automotive in 2015. In 2019, as MPI Automotive, Manta acquired the Di Filippo Performance Exhausts product range and production line, providing it with a Victorian base alongside its WA factory and NSW warehouse. Manta exhaust systems and componentry are stocked by retailers throughout the country, and under Manta’s white labelling service, it manufactures performance products for some of Australia’s biggest brands. Manta’s extended capabilities include
manufacturing and supplying wholesale componentry for a range of industries, and the production of custom componentry and exhaust systems. Manta says that “with nearly limitless capabilities for providing wholesale performance exhaust systems, componentry, white labelling and customisation – and with manufacturing facilities located across Australia for ease of service and supply” – it is a one stop shop for businesses looking to add reputable, world-class products to their range. Manta will be exhibiting at the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo across April 7-9 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Manta invites you to visit its team at the show, at Stand Q36.

MOREY’S HEAVY DUTY OIL STABILIZER Terrain Tamer says the design of these Upper Control Arms delivers maximum shock absorber extension, allowing the shock to restrict full droop, effectively minimising any strain put on the ball joint when the vehicle is lifted. Other benefits include an increase in caster adjustment and negative camber, providing an improved turn-in response and increased directional stability, all working to compensate for body and tyre roll when cornering. Resistant to oil, grease and weathering, and featuring a heavy-duty ball joint, Terrain Tamer’s Upper Control Arms are powder coated to withstand corrosion, and provide the strength typically required in high load bearing applications. Terrain Tamer’s Upper Control Arms are the newest addition to its popular Suspension range, which, along with its OE Replacement range of shocks, springs and bushes, also includes Stabiliser Bars, Smart Coil Springs, Pro Shock Absorbers, and more recently, GVM Upgrade Kits and Parabolic Springs. All parts are available now for a wide range of vehicles. For more information, or to view the range, visit www.terraintamer.com 28

A lubricant in its own right
Morey’s HDOS is a 100 percent petroleum-based product and does not contain alloys, graghite, teflon or waxes. Morey’s says its HDOS has been known to be called ‘The Mechanic in a bottle’ as it has always had a reputation of being a quick fix for something old and noisy or just to give something just a little more life. It says it is true that its HDOS will do wonders for something that is very well worn. Morey’s says a well serviced vehicle with the use of Morey’s HDOS can help with reducing some costly repairs of oil failure, bearing failure, engine failure, gearbox failure and more. It says HDOS can increase the stability of your oil; improve the lubricity and life of your oil; prevent metal to metal contact (which helps to reduce heat); improve your oil pressure; reduce fuel consumption, sludge build up, oil contamination, condensation and toxic exhaust emissions; and help with smoother gear changing in both automatic and manual gearboxes while reducing wear. Whether your vehicle is new or old, Morey’s says you can use its HDOS. Morey’s explains that for new vehicles, HDOS will help with keeping your vehicle newer for a longer
period of time by reducing that metal-to-metal contact, keeping your oil at its peak for longer and keeping everything clean and lubricated well by reducing the carbon and sludge build up. Morey’s says for older vehicles, HDOS will help with rejuvenating old and worn seals, help clean up carbon build up and sludge from burnt oils, increase oil pressure, help reduce noises and prevent more damage from happening. Morey’s HDOS will mix and blend with all petroleum based automotive oils as well as semi synthetic and full synthetic oils.
