about us
Motorsport Component Specialists Since 1999
Motorsport places unusual demands on both components and suppliers.
Loads are high. Space is limited. Weight matters. Preparation schedules are tight. A relatively small component can delay a build, prevent testing or put a car’s next event at risk.
ABC was established to support this demanding environment.
Since 1999, we have developed extensive knowledge of motorsport bearings, rod ends, spherical bearings, fasteners and related components. That experience helps us understand both the technical requirements and the pressures surrounding them.
The question is not always simply whether a component is available. Customers may also need to know whether it has the correct dimensions, material, liner, clearance, load capacity or thread configuration.
Sometimes the challenge is identifying an existing component. In other cases, it involves locating an alternative when the original product is obsolete, unavailable or unsuitable.
Our role is to help you move from uncertainty to a practical component solution.

Within this controlled environment, bearings and precision components can be inspected, cleaned and relubricated. The facility can also support specified coatings and solid-film lubricant applications using purpose-built tooling.
The service can be used for several bearing types, including:
- Miniature ball bearings.
- Deep-groove and angular-contact bearings.
- Needle roller bearings.
- Thin-section bearings.
- Track rollers.
- Linear guides.
- Metal-to-metal spherical bearings.
- High-specification fasteners and precision components.
ABC stocks more than 100 lubricants for different operating requirements. These include products for high temperatures, corrosive environments, low-outgassing applications and other specialist conditions. Customers can also provide a specified lubricant for use during processing.
