VEHICLE & FITMENT
Find the Right Parts for Your Vehicle
Vehicle fitment can depend on more than just the vehicle model. Here are some common questions about matching auto parts to the correct vehicle application.
What vehicle information do I need to find the right part?
The most useful information is usually the vehicle year, make, model, and engine. Depending on the part, you may also need the transmission type, trim, drivetrain, OEM number, or other application details.
What does YMM mean?
YMM stands for Year, Make, and Model. It is commonly used to identify a vehicle application and help narrow down compatible auto parts.
Is YMM information enough to confirm fitment?
Not always. Some parts can have different versions within the same year, make, and model. Engine type, transmission, drivetrain, production date, trim, OEM number, or other application details may also be important. Always check the available fitment information before ordering.
Can I search for parts by vehicle?
Yes. Use our Vehicle Search to select the year, make, and model of your vehicle and explore available parts. If you cannot find the vehicle or part you need, you can also send us your vehicle information through a quote request.
What if I don't know the exact vehicle information?
Send us whatever information you have, such as the vehicle make and model, year, engine, VIN-related application information, OEM number, part number, product photo, or the part you are replacing. We can review the available information and help explore suitable sourcing options.
How can I reduce the risk of ordering the wrong part?
Provide as much vehicle and product information as possible before ordering. An OEM number, part number, vehicle application, product photo, or existing part information can help narrow down the correct product. When available, review the product’s fitment information before placing an order.
PRODUCTS & OEM NUMBERS
Understanding OEM & Part Numbers
OEM numbers and part numbers can help identify automotive products and narrow down suitable sourcing options. Here are some common questions about searching for auto parts by part number.
What is an OEM number?
An OEM number is a part number assigned or used by an original equipment manufacturer to identify a specific automotive component. Depending on the vehicle and product, the same part may also have other reference numbers.
What is the difference between an OEM number and a part number?
An OEM number is generally associated with an original equipment manufacturer’s part identification, while a part number can also refer to numbers used by aftermarket manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors. The exact meaning can vary by product and supplier.
Can I search for auto parts by OEM number?
Yes. You can use our OEM & Part Number Search to search available products in our catalog by OEM number or part number. If you cannot find a matching product, you can send us the number and we can help explore additional sourcing options.
What if I only have the part number?
That’s okay. Send us the part number along with any available vehicle information, product photos, or other details. We can use the information you provide to help explore suitable product and supplier options.
What if I cannot find my OEM number on your website?
Our online catalog does not represent every auto part available through China’s supply chain. If you cannot find your OEM number, submit a quote request with the number and any other information you have. We can help search for suitable sourcing options.
Can you source a product that is not in your catalog?
Yes. Our sourcing service is not limited to products currently listed on the website. You can send us a product name, OEM number, part number, vehicle information, product photo, or supplier link, and we can help explore suitable sourcing options in China.
