Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

**uninformed** · 15th August 2013, 08:24 PM

Bump. Any updates?

also, just to clarify, when you say "SuperFlex arm" this means one arm with the axle end bushes closer together than factory and utilises bolt on mounting plates to fit up to stock axle locations?

The second pic shows a superflex radius arm for a patrol on the LH side and a standard rover radius arm on the RH side, with a rover front diff.

That stuff (2nd pic) belongs to me and I also took the pic.

That will be similar to what Greg is going to be releasing for Land Rovers

As well as normal arms with different bushes fitted for those that don't want to go the whole Supaflex route,but want more flex than you get with Land Rover arms

Has any one seen these guys based out of the US? the mods they do to radius arms look rather impressive. The pic is down near the bottom of the page just after the pic of the rims on the bench. If I win lotto, this is where my Defender will be going for a rebuild. Defender 110 accident repair

save yourself the $$$$$......

Looks like ECR's work. ALL they have done is a castor correction at the RA. This will IMO, now make the angles for a stock driveshaft not so great. With a decent press you could do this yourself, or simply buy the new Superior Engineering arms to suit your lift, with the added bonus of more flex. Id bet $$$ would be saved as shipping wouldnt be cheap on a set of RA from the USA.

I might be missing something in that link but they are just standard 'cranked' arms to rectify the castor angle... won't improve articulation... just the steering/tracking.

Hopefully Superior will do 3 degree and 6 degree versions of the superflex arms, which should kill two birds with one stone... much improved atriculation and castor correction in the same product, no more need for slotted swivels, special bushes or cranked arms etc... win win

*edit... uninformed beat me to it!*

But what if you already have slotted swivels?

, think I may get some of the normal superflex arms anyway

**uninformed** · 16th August 2013, 11:15 PM

From what I can gather all the different SE arms will be available in std height, ie no lift/ castor correction.

**Bush65** · 17th August 2013, 07:34 AM

IMHO, correcting castor by rotating the diff, via RA or bushes, is the wrong approach. It increase the drive shaft angle, from bad (stock) to even worse.

There is benefit in cranking the RA for raised suspension, but it should be done to correct the angle at the chassis bush, and to correct the pinion angle, ideally for a double cardan drive shaft.

Castor is best corrected with the swivels.
