How MOOG 3D Schematics Make Steering & Suspension Repairs Easier

As a mechanic, you know that some steering and suspension systems are incredibly complex and time consuming to diagnose and repair. This complexity can make it difficult to select the right part the first time, which not only slows things down, but can also lead to incorrect installations and ultimately, dissatisfied customers. Luckily, MOOG has a solution - 3D schematics that make it easy and quick to find the correct part for the job while providing a visual confirmation of the fitting position and the application criteria. In this blog, we'll dive into how MOOG 3D schematics work and how they make life easier for mechanics.

At the heart of MOOG's 3D schematics is an exploded view of the front/rear suspension system. This way, you can accurately see the fitting position of the part that needs replacement, eliminating the risk of incorrect installation due to any misunderstanding of how it fits into the system. The 3D schematics can also be used to identify surrounding parts that might need replacement as well in one single view.

Additionally, MOOG provides generic and specific fitting instructions to guide mechanics through the proper installation of the part. The specific fitting instructions are tailored to the exact part, while generic instructions cover standard practices that apply to all MOOG parts. By providing these instructions, MOOG is ensuring that the part is installed and functioning correctly.

MOOG 3D schematics can be easily accessed from MOOG’s parts finder, Driv e-cat and the TecDoc catalogue, which is constantly being updated to include more parts and even more detailed images. This level of detail not only assists mechanics in selecting the correct part, but also makes repairs quicker and easier.
