Beck/Arnley Engine Oil Pump Seal
Over a Century of Import Car Expertise
Few names in the aftermarket carry as much history as Beck/Arnley. Founded in 1914 as Beck Distributing Corp. in New York City by Irving Beck, the brand got its start supplying motorcycle parts before pivoting during World War I to fulfill a US Army contract for dispatch-rider sidecars. After the war, Beck followed the booming motorcycle aftermarket, but it was the post-World War II era that defined the company's modern identity. Recognizing the surge in foreign nameplate vehicles on American roads, Beck merged with Arnley Brake Shoe Company and shifted its focus entirely toward import car replacement parts — a decision that would make it one of the most trusted names in the segment for generations.
The Benchmark for Foreign Nameplate Parts
Today, Beck/Arnley is headquartered in Smyrna, Tennessee, and operates as part of the Federal-Mogul Motorparts family of brands. Its catalog spans more than 24,000 parts covering 80 makes and nearly 1,800 models — giving it some of the broadest foreign nameplate coverage in the industry. Every part in the lineup is engineered to meet OE specifications for form, fit, and function, meaning there are no compromises when it comes to compatibility or performance.
What sets Beck/Arnley apart is its Application Specific Sourcing process. Product specialists research individual make and model applications, evaluate precise part specifications, and source best-in-class components from a global network of more than 400 OE and OE-quality manufacturers. Each incoming shipment is compared against OE samples in a library of over 70,000 reference parts, ensuring an exact match every time.
A Full-Spectrum Suspension and Chassis Line
Suspension and chassis parts are at the heart of what Beck/Arnley does best. The brand's Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assemblies are among the most popular products in the lineup, engineered to restore precise handling geometry on a wide range of Asian and European vehicles. For technicians who need just the arm itself, Beck/Arnley's Suspension Control Arms are built to the same exacting OE standards, using steel, iron, or aluminum construction for long-term durability and corrosion resistance.
Steering precision depends heavily on the health of the front-end linkage, which is why Beck/Arnley's Steering Tie Rod Ends are a go-to choice for import vehicle repairs. Complementing the chassis lineup, Beck/Arnley Engine Mounts absorb powertrain vibration and protect drivetrain components — an often-overlooked service item that has a direct impact on NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) and overall ride quality.
Drivetrain and Filtration Coverage
Beck/Arnley's reach extends well beyond suspension. The brand's Automatic Transmission Filter Kits are designed as direct-fit replacements for foreign nameplate transmissions, helping technicians maintain proper fluid cleanliness and protect transmission internals during service intervals. From brake and chassis components to engine hardware and filtration, Beck/Arnley continues to deliver the right part for import vehicles — the first time, every time.
