IME Super Pro both last longer AND are more supple than rubber bushes available today.

Funny you should mention a specific company. I bought some rubber bushes from them before the canning. I was told "We purchase these items from the a UK wholesaler who sources these items from the OE manufacturer. We can confirm they are OE and we certainly have had no issues with them"

These pics show them after ~2000(RA bush) and ~4000 km (TA Bush). The RA bushes failed completely in the middle of the canning.





All the bushes were replaced by Super-Pro and they are still all like new.

Same thing happened to me. They literally lasted 2 weeks then I got extreamly bad death wobbles. I replaced with super pros and the are still intact after over 4000KM

I have just replaced with LR rubber after previously using OE rubber.

Why?

Well the OE rubber didn't seem to last 5 minutes. I've had Orange Poly-bushes on a previous defender but always preferred rubber for touring because of availability, maintain standard parts etc.

I'm convinced rubber isn't what it used to be!

If the LR rubber doesn't last long, SuperPro will be going back in.

Super Pro can be ordered through SuperCheapAuto.

I got my Super Pro from APT Fabrication, ordered and picked up from Ben the next day.

For the price the UK is selling it for, you could carry a whole kit for spares.

Is it still an Australian made product????

Still Aussie made dut cheaper to export back to Oz
Fulcrum suspension own superpro so are usually cheaper if you can pick up

Make sure the kits you buy have the radius arm to chassis performance bushes
Part/kit no. SPF3632K
That bush is the icing on the cake

Dave, I take it there are 2 different performance bushes for RA, for the early and late type arms.....

I went to buy from supercheap and it was really pricey I found it cheaper to purchase form the superpro guy on ebay bought for both my disco and my puma on there not as cheap as buying from the UK but it was delivered in under a week and I didnt have to wait for freight quotes..

$350 for the full set guy is based in brisbane

That no. Is for the later type arms ( wider axle end bushing as well)
I rolled a newer diff under the front recently and changed to the wider type arms
Did superpro throughout at the time
Honestly can't remember if the arms had a bigger pin.
I recall they had differing threads
Kept the skinny arms in the shed with holey bushes
I still want to try the skinny arms in a later housing with misalignment spacers at the axle end to test articulation (that's bills influence)
