Reinforced MEYLE-HD control arms for Fiat models


Larger ball pin of the ball joint delivers longer service life

Hamburg, 25 October 2016. MEYLE is expanding its range of MEYLE-HD control arms – available now: a new reinforced MEYLE-HD control arm to fit the Fiat 500 and Fiat 500C as well as the Ford Ka II. Owing to the ball joint's increased ball pin diameter, independent workshops now have an efficient solution on hand to remedy a typical cause of damage for Fiat 500 models. 

Defective control arms are a frequent source of trouble for repair professionals, often causing the vehicle to fail periodic technical inspection. The weakest part of the control arm is the ball joint, with the ball pin being the main culprit. The consequences of ball joint damage range from increased tyre wear to indirect steering and poor road holding and may even entail sudden steering system failure, if the ball pin comes loose from the socket. 

This is why the MEYLE engineers have developed a reinforced MEYLE-HD version of the control arm featuring a ball joint with an extremely durable ball pin. By enlarging the ball diameter, the ball pin's load-carrying capacity has been considerably improved. Owing to the technical refinements over the OE design, the control arm comes with an extended four-year guarantee, as do all items of the MEYLE-HD range.

The new MEYLE-HD control arm to fit the Fiat 500 and Fiat 500C as well as Ford Ka II models can be ordered under the MEYLE part numbers 216 050 0044/HD (LH) and 216 050 0045/HD (RH). To ensure swift repairs, the control arm comes with all the mounting parts required for replacement.

Legendary Red Bull Athlete Valery Rozov smashes world-record for FXTMbasejump Project

25 October 2016: Valery Rozov has broken another world-record in BASE jumping in the finale of the #FXTMbasejump project. The Red Bull athlete, who partnered with FXTM for the feat, performed a successful jump from Mount Cho Oyu in China at 7700 metres. In this astounding accomplishment, Rozov has once again raised the bar of extreme sports higher - beating his previous 2013 record - breaking jump from the Everest Massif at 7220 metres.
The jump from Cho Oyu was completed on 5th of October, following a 21-day expedition to the exit point. The jump took 90 seconds in free fall, then the opening of the parachute and the flight under the canopy lasted approximately 2 minutes before Valery Rozov landed safely on a glacier.
Valery Rozov said: “Jumping from Cho Oyu has been one of my life-long ambitions and being able to achieve this goal as part of the #FXTMbasejump project is a fantastic feeling. The mountain itself is extremely impressive and challenging, but nevertheless having the opportunity to climb it and to BASE jump from there was a great experience.” 
Discussing the partnership with FXTM, Rozov said: “FXTM has been a great partner from the outset of this project, right up to the final jump at Cho Oyu. We both share the same drive for offering the inspiration needed to push the limits, and together our goals were achieved with the Cho Oyu jump. I am very grateful to both FXTM and Red Bull’s support that made this project and this jump possible and I’m excited for what could be in store after this."
Commenting on the finale of the #FXTMbasejump Project, Olga Rybalkina, CEO of FXTM said: “We are extremely proud of Valery Rozov for this great milestone in his career and for achieving it as part of the #FXTMbasejump project. We are honoured for the opportunity to support Valery, and to prove that by having a goal, gaining the proper training, understanding and managing the risk effectively you have the potential to achieve great things. Our shared passion for innovation ignited this project and has become a great source of inspiration for traders, investors and even athletes everywhere to achieve the most of their experience, no matter their field.”
As part of the FXTMbasejump Project's preparation for the final jump at Cho Oyu, Rozov underwent strict training throughout the season and completed several jumps in Chamonix, Peru and Dolomites.
Rozov’s next steps after his record-breaking jump are a media tour in China which will then be followed by a series of FXTM events in various regions, where FXTM’s clients will get the chance to meet Rozov in person.
