What are the Benefits of OEM Parts vs Aftermarket Parts?
How do OEM parts stack up against aftermarket items? The OEM parts are made directly by the Ford manufacturer. Aftermarket parts are made and distributed by a third party. The OEM parts tend to fit better and last longer. Aftermarket parts might do the job but come with a possible amount of hassle. What can go wrong? An aftermarket part might not fit your specific make or model. An aftermarket part might not be designed to withstand conditions related to your vehicle. An OEM part is crafted the same as if it were put on the original vehicle. It's an "as new" part for your specific Ford vehicle.
Uncompromised Quality
How does the quality from OEM stand up against the aftermarket options? Since OEM parts are made by the manufacturer, they are usually the better long term option. They are designed to fit the specific parts of a particular make and model. The quality and durability are without question better choices for those wanting to drive their individual vehicles for longer periods of time. An aftermarket part might just be a temporary fix for what should be a long term solution.
