Nakata launches comprehensive steering and suspension range into the UK market

Tuesday 5 May 2026

Frasle Mobility brand, Nakata, has launched a comprehensive range of steering and suspension components into the UK market.

 

Having launched in the UK in early 2025 with an extensive range of wheel bearings, Nakata is a market-leader in automotive components with a history spanning more than 70 years. The UK is the first market to benefit from Nakata products outside of Latin America, a testament to Frasle Mobility’s UK team and facilities which operate out of Doncaster, Bradford, and Belfast respectively.

 

The new steering and suspension range, which includes ball joints, control arms, inner tie rods, tie rod ends, stabiliser links and suspension bushes across an initial 1,800 references, is manufactured from high-quality materials for increased durability and performance. Components are also subjected to various tests that simulate real-world operating conditions to ensure their long-term reliability.

 

Toby Whewell, Sales and Marketing Director for Frasle Mobility in the UK, says: “We’re truly honoured to be the first business unit outside of Latin America to present Nakata, it’s not a responsibility we take lightly. We were blown away by the positive response to our wheel bearings when we launched them in the UK last year. It’s given us a great foundation to build on and we’re incredibly confident in our steering and suspension offering in terms of range and product quality.”

 

Manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities, Nakata steering and suspension components benefit from advanced engineering processes and stringent quality control at every stage of production. From material selection through to final inspection, each component is designed to ensure consistent fit, reliable performance, and long service life, aligning with the needs of the UK aftermarket.

 

Whewell added: “Ensuring products are high-quality is non-negotiable for us, and we carry that same mindset into every other aspect of the business. We’ve always taken great pride in the level of service we provide to customers, and even as we expand our brand and product offering, that commitment hasn’t changed.

 

In preparation for the steering and suspension launch, our team completed thorough product training to ensure they have the knowledge needed to continue delivering the same high standard of service our customers have come to expect from us.”
