- All SuperPro Polyurethane Suspension Components are manufactured from the highest grade, hot cured castable
material, and must be fitted correctly to ensure maximum service life.
- In all bushing applications the Polyurethane acts as a flexible bearing and must be greased on assembly, unlike
rubber where there is no relative movement at the interface between the rubber and the mating parts.
- Always use new crush & spacer tubes where supplied, or thoroughly clean original bearing surfaces where they
are to be reused. All rust and scale must be removed and a clean bearing surface prepared. Minor surface pitting is acceptable,
but badly corroded parts should be replaced.
- Where required all SUPERPRO kits contain a small quantity of Polyurethane grease. This grease should be applied
to all polyurethane surfaces in contact with metal.
- Always tighten mounting bolts with the vehicle at normal ride height, as failure to do so may create torsional
stresses, which may lead to early bushing failure. Always replace any lock washers or split pins and refer to manufacturers
specifications for correct nut and bolt tightening torque.
- When fitting Male & Female Caster Bar Bushes the male bush is always fitted to the side with the greatest
load.
- Some SUPERPRO components are designed to use original equipment outer cases, which should be left in place in the
arm. Please refer to the specific instructions in the SUPERPRO kit before dismantling the arm. You may be required to warm the old
bushing to break the rubber to metal bond and clean inside the diameter of the OE case before assembly.
- When assembling the bushing & crush tube, it's best to assemble the bushing into the arm first, then the tube
into the bushing. Each bushing is designed with an amount of 'Crush' and the tube is often used to expand the bushing for correct
fit. If you fit the tube first, you may find the bushing too big to assemble.
- All SUPERPRO bushings have been designed specifically for each catalogued application and it should not be
necessary to modify the bushing in any way.
SUPERPRO polyurethane bushings are backed by a 3 year 60000km warranty from the date of purchase
against faulty manufacture or performance.
All claims must be made with the supplier where the product is purchased. Proof of purchase must be provided.
This warranty is conditional upon the equipment being fitted & utilised in strict accordance with installation instructions
and the manufacturers' recommendations.
