Saw that both makes have the same part numbers and the same description. Are they the same company?

 

Who or what is "xrf"?

 

http://www.xrfchassis.com/

 

Anyone have any info on this?

 

Very interesting...Subscribed.

 

This came up a while back. It was concluded that the two companies have nothing to do with each other.

 

They just used the same base number that Ford originally came up with and added their own alphanumeric codes to identify the part as theirs and what options.

Each part that Ford makes will have a base number, with additional numbers and letters before or after to tell the year made, color, and other features of that one part.

 

Why do both use the same description? Just weird that 2 companies would say the same thing

 

XRF Chassis company is a privately held corporation owned by Gwencor, Inc. Gwencor, Inc. is a private holding company.

It has no ties to Moog, that I can find.

 

Ok that is what i was thinking and hoping. Just weird how there product descriptions were the same. Thanks man for clearing it up

 

XRF makes some very good components.

They are the go to ball joint manufacturer for the Dodge Ram crowd that doesn't want to spend $$$$$ on Carli.

 

Ya thats what i have been seeing. I am getting my XRF stuff all together in my cart and i just saw that and wondered why. But i am going XRF parts for sure. Been reading alot of good reviews and some torture test ppl have run there vehicles through

 

Its funny - the two companies are an hour away from each other.

Both companies buy parts from Hsiang Auto and other Taiwanese manufacturers.

 

XRF INC. is actually a Canadian company, the US arm is owned by the holdings company for tax and liability purposes. Just like Moog is a Federal Mogul company.

As to the cataloging, it is expensive for a smaller company to create and maintain. Many companies pay for and use the catalog data of larger companies. It also makes it easier on the parts industry.
