plated for extended life
Competition’s Drawback
Smaller diameter (18mm or 20mm)
results in increased surface wear
Round-Wire Spring
Goodyear EP Advantage
Premium chrome-silicon steel
design is non-binding when
exposed to environment;
maintains constant tension
Competition’s Drawback
"Clock spring" design can bind
when surfaces rub together or get
contaminated with debris
Pivot Seal
Goodyear EP Advantage
Prevents contamination from
reaching internal components;
extends part durability
Labyrinth Seals
Goodyear EP Advantage
Integrated shielding design prevents dirt and grime
from reaching internal components
Competition’s Drawback
Flat component mating surfaces allow contaminants
