Thread: Superpro bushes

I purchased mine from Bursons. I guess any decent parts supplier could source them.

Greater than 2 inch lift, castor correction maybe required.


APT will be able to get them for you.


Castor is really about how the vehicle feels to the driver.
If you are constantly on edge, making small corrections all the time, then castor correction is needed.

I will ring bursons

I see there is an ebay seller as well

I have raised springs <50mm...the car sits nicely on the road.........

If it drives nicely - don't frig with it. Just fit standard bushes.

If it feels twitchy or unstable on the road and you've got around a 50mm lift or more then you might benefit (but the better way to correct caster is by slotting swivels as it doesn't mess with diff pinion angles).

The off-centre bushes offered by SuperPro are designed to minimise the tendency of some LR models to veer towards the direction of road camber... usually the left, but they will veer towards the RHS if you drive on a freeway for example where the RH lane drains to the centre ... This can occur even if you have the wheel alignment perfectly set up and centred. It's particularly noticeable on P38s.

Their site offers two types of correction, castor and the one you are talking about.

I wonder all over the place when driving up the road as I'm always looking at things and my hand follows my head.

I found Toowoomba suspensions good when I got mine

The internet appears to be divided upon this choice, (polybush or not).
I fitted a superpro bush kit to my perentie and my experiance is completley positive.

Superpro caster correction kit KIT043BADJK $450.11 from automotive superstore.
I also fitted a maxidrive A frame ball joint from MR automotive.
I replaced all bolts with new zinc coated ones from a local fittings shop.

I would not spend the time to fit cheap poly bushes I don't think it's worth the trouble.

The ride is a bit more bumpy, and the suspension overall is slightly firmer, but everything feels like it's in the right place.

The hardest part of fitting the new bushes was getting the holes in the offset bushes lined up correctly! I used the attached instructions castor_correction_bush_template.pdf and lots of measuring to line them up.

I have +50mm dobinsons coils that previously bulged forwards a lot more than you see in this photo, the caster correction has helped this a lot.

Now the diff nose does not point upwards as much, and the vehicle will hold a straight line! yay
