Federal Mogul Corporation announced that it has reached an agreement with
Advance Auto Parts, Inc. to place its premium MOOG®

maintainers throughout North America.
“We are pleased Advance is adding our MOOG and
Wagner premium brands from Federal-Mogul’s
full range of premium, entry level and OE replacement products.
Expanding our relationship with this important customer further extends
our premium brand presence in North America, the largest aftermarket
region,” said Jay Burkhart, senior vice

steering parts feature a variety of innovative designs and durable
