Steering and suspension is one of the growth sectors in the Irish aftermarket as cars are now staying on the road for longer and still have to contend with speed humps, pot holes and poor roads. The sheer range of parts required to satisfy demand can seem daunting, but one vastly experienced manufacturer in this sector firmly believes it can tick all the right boxes when it comes to product quality and application coverage.

Sidem steering and suspension products are distributed in Ireland by Tecnoparts and offer the most comprehensive product offer in this vital component sector. With over seventy years of experience in the automotive market, Sidem is the brand with the longest history in chassis parts and this vast experience and know-how stands it in good stead to deal with the demand of today’s global aftermarket.
