    Default Super Pro bushes

    Hi all,

    Just seeking feedback from anyone that has experience with / used SuperPro polyurethane front end bushes.

    They will be going in a V8 VS sedan with FE2.

    Thanks.

    we use them on just about every 34 skyline thst we have ever imported. castor arm bushes always crap out. also have them on my VK sway bar links.. they work fine. they do exactly what they say they do. not more not less.

    I have them on my front and rear sway bars and links, radius rod and strut tops.
    All seems pretty good to me, I'd buy them again

    they arnt neo there polyuretane, with no rubbery stuff in there. they fit better, better steel work (outer shells and crush tubes) and last longer.

    Only when fitted correctly.

    And by saying they are shit loads better than others is opening yourself to criticism. I believe they are better than rubber in most applications, but do the same job as most other polyurethane bushes on the market.

    Definitely. Bit cheaper than Nolanthene (or however you spell it) yet pretty much the same thing.

    I've got the dark blue Superpro's on all of my control & trailing arms & stabiliser links
    8 years, 70,000+kms no problems. Sway bar bushes are probably due for replacement now though, starting to look a bit sad. But I'm happy how long they lasted.

    Ive ran superpro bushes in the rear upper control arms before and they chopped out after a few months.I replaced them and the same thing happened again,so I ended up fitting the complete rear upper control arms that are made by nolothane and theyve been there for 2 years or so now...Ive also tried superpro swaybar bushes before had a bad run with them, they chopped out in no time.
