Quality-Built 16749 QB Premium Remanufactured Starter

The Quality-Built 16749 is a QB Premium remanufactured starter motor engineered to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) specifications for reliable, consistent starting performance. Built by Motor Car Parts of America (MPA) — the largest remanufacturer of import starters and alternators in North America — this unit goes far beyond a typical rebuilt starter.

• Precision-Machined Armatures & Commutators: Electronically tested for consistent starting performance with every turn of the key
• New Bronze-Sintered Bushings: Oil-impregnated armature support bushings for maximum wear resistance and quiet operation
