While it might be tempting to install aftermarket components into your beloved Ford, there are good reasons to resist that and stick with OEM parts. These are the parts that come factory-fitted to your vehicle when new, and they're the same parts a Ford dealer will use to fix or maintain your car. Safety Reasons One of the most compelling reasons to install OEM components exclusively on your Ford is to keep your vehicle as safe as possible. A prime example of this is seen among brake components like brake pads, shoes, drums, and rotors. You won't often be able to see that a part is poor quality when you view it online, but there are vital differences in the way Ford brake parts are manufactured and the way some corresponding aftermarket parts are made. Motorcraft is the main supplier of Ford "Original Equipment Manufacturer" parts and is owned by Ford, so you know there is no disconnect between the vehicle and parts manufacturers. Aside from brake parts, various other areas of your vehicle may be compromised using cheap third-party parts. These areas include the suspension, steering, chassis, and drivetrain. more Performance and Efficiency Closely linked to safety are performance and efficiency. Your Ford will run at its best by far when it's maintained with well-made parts that fit perfectly. A good example of such parts are filters, including fuel filters, air filters, and oil filters. If these are poorly made or they don't fit well, this reflects in the way the car runs and will increase engine wear. Low-quality parts that hurt performance reduce fuel efficiency, too. The parts that affect safety, such as brake, steering, and suspension parts, also obviously affect the handling and performance of the car or truck. If you have your vehicle serviced regularly by a Ford dealer, you'll be able to drive with more confidence, knowing it will behave predictably and stop reliably. Keep the Warranty Valid You won't normally void a warranty merely by installing aftermarket parts, but a problem arises if those parts cause a critical failure. Ford cannot guarantee the quality or functionality of aftermarket parts, nor any detrimental effect they have on related components. Thus, to avoid invalidating your Ford warranty, it's best to use OEM components for all meaningful purposes.
