Who is Fulcrum Suspension?

Fulcrum Suspensions commenced business in 1976, in the light industrial suburb of Moorooka, Brisbane, Australia. the main aim of the managing director and founder, Graham Scudamore-Smith was to create a business, which would specialize exclusively in steering and suspension systems.

Since the conception of this business much has happened, Fulcrum has become a multi facet business; which not only repairs vehicles but also wholesales steering and suspension components to a supportive trade and reseller customer base throughout Queensland and Australia.
Fulcrum also manufactures and distributes SuperPro Polyurethane Suspension Bushes.

The SuperPro brand of Polyurethane has received an excellent reputation in recent years for its consistent quality and extensive range. Super Pro is not only an accepted product in Australia but now has acceptance and is being exported to an international market.

Why SuperPro?

Since the introduction of polyurethane into the Aftermarket Suspension Industry in the early 80's many have tried but few have succeeded in manufacturing accurate, durable parts consistently. Anyone can take two jam tins and mix part A with part B, pour it into a mould and get a result. It takes proper management and high technology to achieve the right result every time.

At SuperPro, we use nominally 70,80 and 90 Shore A material and have adopted a policy of progressive hardness reduction, using sophisticated polymers, design and casting techniques to eliminate noise, vibration and harshness.

It is in this "NVH" area that we are concentrating our greatest developmental efforts. SuperPro Polyurethane Suspension Bushes are not copies of the original rubber component they are specially developed to take advantage of the material's unique properties.

Our shackle bushes for example, may feature flat or grooved sections, or domed heads to eliminate noise. Similarly, steel sleeves may be grooved for lubricant retention. Diametral interference and preloads are carefully controlled to minimize bending or other stresses on mating parts, to prevent cracking or breakage.

Bushes being used in strut bar, radius rod or trailing arm locations, will improve the road holding, handling and tyre wear of the car. This is possible because Super Pro will achieve consistent tyre to road alignment, particularly under braking and cornering loads. In many cases there is little or no effect on NVH, thanks to careful design by our technicians.
