VESCONITE HILUBE KITSVesconite Hilube replacement kits for needle bearings solve recurring problems with suspension arms in Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo utility vehicles

Argentinian distributor for Vesconite, Vesconite Hilube and Vesconite Superlube low-friction bearing materials VesArg is proud to announce the acceptance of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit for the Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo utility vehicles, with VesArg having sold 500 kits for these vehicles in the last two years.

This innovative solution addresses the recurring problem of suspension arm issues in these utility vehicles, which often require replacement needle-roller bearings.

Utility vehicle owners often encounter frequent mechanical service requirements owing to the unsuitability of traditional needle-roller bearings for applications exposed to water and abrasive contaminants.

The Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit offers a professional and durable solution with Vesconite Hilube self-lubricating bushings.

Each Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit for Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo vehicles includes two Vesconite Hilube hubs with seal holders; two straight Vesconite Hilube hubs; two covers to prevent dirt ingress; two high-quality seals; and two hardened steel tubes.

There are key advantages of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit over traditional needle bearings.

These include a greater support surface whereby the Vesconite Hilube solution offers a wide support area instead of point lines, resulting in exponentially greater load capacity.

Another advantage includes the homogeneous material whereby the simplicity of the Vesconite Hilube bushings prevents issues, such as jamming, owing to abrasion or rust, as well as rollers coming off during assembly.

Moreover, with continuous contact surface and no binding, the housing does not wear out, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Additional features of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit include being rust resistant; ultra-low friction; reduced tyre wear; and extended vehicle life.

The Vesconite Hilube can also support up to 300 kg/cm², making each set/arm capable of supporting 7 500 kg, ensuring a significantly extended service life under optimal operating conditions.

Vesconite Hilube's characteristics make it the “optimal material for this application”, providing a super extended useful life.

VesArg is dedicated to providing “high-quality, innovative solutions” to the automotive industry. With the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit, vehicle owners can put an end to recurring suspension arm problems and enjoy a smoother, more reliable driving experience.
