Thread: Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

Well that is funny

Wayne The second bracket was still about 5mm out. There is a small notch on the inner edge in the original design that wraps around the chassis. I feel that land rovers seem to be made so differently between each truck that if you make things to perfect tolerances they don't seems to fit... Not just your and my measuring skills.

I have had to adjust a long list of aftermarket and Land Rover made parts to fit this truck and every other landy I have owned, (Mind you every other brand of truck I have had to do the same at times).

It has an High flow Intercooler, 3 core aftermarket Highflow Radiator and many other parts and all have had something that didn't line up.

I didn't mean the chassis needed to be ground... (Although Some weld lines do protrude in the area depending on how well the chassis has been welded).

Yes there is a metal fold where the ear mount is attached to the chassis,and it looks about 5mm.I know what you mean about nothing fitting,everything I seem to try and fit requires adjustment,but everyone seems to tell you that noone else has had a problem

I can't comment on the rear arms but i can say the superflex arms went in easily without drama and the holes lined up perfectly. The only fiddly bit was punching in the washers either side of the bushing crush tubes to make up the Patrol/ Defender bushing size difference, but no biggie really, put them in after work one evening.

Yeah front arms are fantastic. Rears will be to once the top bracket it finalised.

What size were the front crush tubes as for some reason mine never had any where the front bolt mounts on passenger side.... Have some left over tube I can cut to size from making parts for the tray so can cut and fit that instead.

Don't see crush tube on the Superior site for the Superflex kit either.

I have noticed the Spacer washer kit to move front diff forward has made a big difference even at rest to where the back of the wheel would normally scrub the guard on the upstroke.

Just to clarify - the crush tubes are moulded into the Patrol rubber bushes that come pressed into the arms ready to fit.

hm as I am still thinking to get a long travel set up I was wondering whether someone actually tested the effectivity? I read on LRA web site that he tested it and everything above 2 something inch additional travel may look nice but does not increase in off-road capabilities

yes sorry did not mean this in relation to the super flex arms but rather the long travel suspension in general
