Thread: The time has come Puma bushes

Did you try SuperPro Lou ?

Find SuperPro Parts for My Vehicle

[edit] snap !

actually no i didnt try that rick I was looking through kits on ebay...everything listed but the new defender

Wayne, thanks for those links, just a thought they say YA chassis VIN, that is a MY2000 build, and IIRC they are still the same as XA and 1A (2001). Change is in 2002 like they say, so should then be a LATE number 1A eg 98****or all 2A VIN then.

Pardon my question but are those SuperPro bushes really this good? Better than OE? I had very bad experience with aftermarket bushes so far...

There are a few other misnomers as well,which is not uncommon when looking for LandRover parts.They list '93 LA chassis 300Tdi.well mine is a '94 LA chassis 200Tdi so I guess I miss out

Yes.

I made the mistake of fitting a mix of OE and Super Pro. The SP were still like new while the OE were completely buggered. Now I run only SuperPro.

If you look at their design they are very cleverly made. Not only do they flex better they also last longer (IME).

I agree with Ben.

I don't go over the top recommending many things, I'm a realist and see things for the compromises everything inevitably has, but the Super Pro bushes are very good.

Not perfect, some of the steel bushes they use inside the PU bush as a spacer can sometimes be not quite correct in sizing and so I've been known to bodgy things by using shim stock to reduce ID's where a bolt goes through, etc. but the basic design of the bush is far and away better than the OE ones IMO.

well what a job Ian started changing the bushes today and didnt have much success pressing out the radias arm bushes the 30ton press just wasn't cutting the mustard and he had to drill them and saw them out by hand!!! what a pig of a job.
