Thread: Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

I asked at Super Pro, and they do not do an improved bush for that end of the Nissan like the LR with the groove around the dia.

So it begs the question, do you think the Nissan bush better than the LR Super Pro improved bush?

Greg, any chance you could Answer my PM?

The Nissan chassis bushes are exactly the same size everywhere as early RRC bushes (dare I suggest Nissan copied some stuff from the RRC when they updated from leaf to coil suspension).

The larger pin diameter probably came about when coil suspension was introduced later for 110's, etc. Only the hole in the bush changed, thus they have less material to flex and when you push them as far they chop out earlier.

I don't know if Super Pro make bushes for the early RRC in the style that improves flex.

I wasnt concerned with the strength of the SE arms or why they are built that way.

You may recall my posts where I remarked about what a mate of mine and I found when we purposly bent and cut up stock arms to see what strength they were and material type. From memory approx 1.5 times stronger than good mild steel. We made some longer arms (+500mm) and they weighed about 15~16kg. I can not run these arms as the engineer says I need a peice of paper to weld

happy holidays

Hey Serg

I tend to read most of the threads on suspension related items,although I don't comment on most of them,as I don't want to get drawn into the "my idea is better than your idea" type arguments that usually follow
I didn't follow up any further earlier,as I thought it would be better to hear it from Greg than from me,and I am happy that Greg chimed in

As the bloke taking the photos, I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement

Without actually measuring, it did appear that the front has finally caught up with the back in terms of useable travel and willingness to articulate. There was no perceptable difference if the left or right front was in the hole either.

Will need a much taller articulation ramp/challenge at next year's LR expo

Greg


here are a couple more




Just to show that it can stuff the tyres as well as have down travel

Wayne, is that with your existing shocks?

Three and a half new shocks
