Quality-Built 16717 QB Premium Remanufactured Starter

The Quality-Built 16717 is a QB Premium remanufactured starter engineered to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) specifications for reliable, consistent starting performance. Remanufactured by Motor Car Parts of America (MPA) — the largest remanufacturer of import starters and alternators in North America — this unit delivers professional-grade dependability at an accessible price point.

Unlike a typical rebuilt starter that is simply disassembled and reassembled with the same worn components, the QB Premium remanufacturing process replaces every part prone to normal wear with 100% new components, regardless of its condition at the time of remanufacture. The result is a starter that performs like new, backed by rigorous quality controls.

Key Features:

• 100% new brushes — the leading cause of starter failure, replaced on every unit for long life and optimum performance
• Precision-machined armatures and commutators — electronically tested for consistent starting performance
• 100% new bronze-sintered bushings — oil-impregnated for maximum wear resistance
• Remanufactured drive clutch — fully dismantled and sealed with aerospace-quality grease for durability
• Blast-cleaned housings — all mounting threads inspected and re-tapped for easy installation
• 100% new solenoid contacts and terminal hardware — high-temperature solenoid caps for increased durability
• OE-quality terminals — high-temp insulators ensure secure, reliable connections
• Manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified facilities using Durability Testing, Root Cause Analysis, and Lean Manufacturing principles

Every Quality-Built starter is end-of-line tested before leaving the facility to ensure it meets strict performance standards. A core charge may apply; return your old unit to receive a core refund.
