New Year Delivers First-to-Market Alternatives to O.E. in Key Applications
CARDONE Industries, has released over 250 new parts this month, including parts that were previously only available through O.E. dealers. Customers seeking throttle bodies and constant velocity (CV) drive axles for certain Hyundai and Nissan models now have a reliable, cost-effective alternative to O.E. parts. CARDONE’s January release covered all major product groups and included parking brake motors and more than 125 domestic and import brake calipers.
"With this large release at the start of 2018, we’re continuing our push to give customers the breadth and depth of coverage that they expect from CARDONE,” said Tim McClave, Senior Director, Product Management. “We’re especially excited to be introducing part numbers that no other aftermarket new manufacturer is offering.”

This month, CARDONE released new throttle bodies for a range of vehicles, including 2007-2017 Nissan trucks. CARDONE is pleased to be the first manufacturer of an O.E. alternative to these high-demand parts for select Nissan trucks, which cover more than 2.4 million vehicles. Guaranteed to fit and function like the originals, CARDONE’s New throttle bodies give customers an alternative to pricier O.E. parts. Features include:
- 100% computerized testing of motor, throttle position sensor and articulation that ensures reliable and consistent performance
