Thread: Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

Will try and post some pics once it all works and is on. Then I guess Superior will list them on the site.

Appreciate the hard work that has gone into making these parts. I love it when us Aussies make top end affordable and engineered parts. Look after your local guys when you have the chance I say.

Yes the only difference in the brackets is that the bolt hole on the Disco have the lower 2 holes horizontal and the Defenders are rotated approx 24Deg.Dont ask me how I know

So what advantages does this new bolt in rear trailing arm from Superior Eng. offer?

Pics in post #74 would suggest lest binding at the chassis end bush,and hence a lot less wear.

Yes Wayne I had a chuckle when Greg said how he got the measurements.

I made the same mistake when I dodgied up a one before running out of time and using the Superior arm. I got the first brackets and thought (well I am not as funny at measuring as I thought someone else is to )

Yes Wayne I had a quick measure tonight and it looks like the new bracket will fit. I only just got home from 13hour day and start at 4 am tomorrow so will fit them fully on the weekend and hopefully get a hand with wiring and new ignition so I can test them.

Yes design is bolt In Replacement and less binding. Would be handy if the were an adjustable version as that's what I thought Greg would go originally.

Will be interesting in front to rear balance with SF front and thee new tears to compare if it is still is as balanced as yours Wayne. I only have the Terrafirma +5"/11" travel shock with GL extended mounts.

Yeah Nick,I actually went out with my engineers square and took angular measurements from my 110 and confirmed them on my 130 before I passed them on.But I did check it with a level,so the angle should be pretty close.
Provided you did your homework with your spring heights and rates,you should have no problems with the Terrafirma shocks and GL mounts.

Quick pick of Rear Heavy Duty Superior Arm fitted some adjustment still to be made to upper bracket. I will try and get some pics on the weekend in rear wheel drive as new front D/C APT prop shaft adapter is being made.

Thanks Nick! ...do you have a better pic of the upper mount?

Presto, I can get a better shot but it will show my bad angle grinder cutting to it to get it to fit. I am working on the truck all Saturday to be able to drive it down to Superior so Greg can make some adjustments to the mounts that he can then sell as a Kit. I am still without the front prop shaft until APT get the adapter for it machined up so will be driving the old girl in rear wheel drive unless magic happens as Machinists are hard to come by.
