Why choose SuperPro Bushes? Part 2: Voiding
Why choose SuperPro Bushes? Part 1: Knurling
Knurling is used on almost all of SuperPro's bushes to enable unrestricted pivoting of the polyurethane bush around the crush tube.
The knurling has two inherent design advantages:
SuperPro re-invents the Vertical Pivot Bush
SuperPro’s vertical pivoting bushes provide a perfect example of how replacing – or upgrading - a standard rubber component with a polyurethane equivalent can provide a series of significant benefits, especially those found in modern-design suspension systems and specifically, the front control arms.
Ford Focus Mk2 Front Control Arm Kit
Our front lower control arm and bracket kit for the Ford Focus MK2 (also fits Volvo C30/C70/S40 & V50) has been designed to be an easy fit repair and upgrade solution, offering both alignment and vehicle handling improvements.
Why buy SuperPro? Part two
Part two of "Why buy SuperPro?" covers Dynamic Roll Control products to correct vehicle geometry to reduce body roll for all types of applications, and offset bushes which can be fitted to adjust caster, camber of toe-in without mechanical modifications.
SuperPro have also developed a unique metal and polyurethane hybrid design combining the core strengths of SuperPro's engineered polyurethane coupled with a specialised metal ball joint. The DuroBall design delivers all the benefits of a vertical pivot solution with greater durability and service life.

Why buy SuperPro bushes? Part one
SuperPro's unique blend of Polyurethane has mechanical properties that make it extremely successful in its application. Extreme resistance to abrasion, low compression set, high tear strength and resistance to oils and solvents make SuperPro’s polyurethane ideal for automotive applications.
The crush tube is an integral component of the suspension bush system and is necessary for free pivoting, and these are made to precision tolerances to ensure a precise fit and years of trouble-free life.
Other features of SuperPro bushes are bullet grooves and voiding, tangential grease grooves, double-helix grooves and knurling - all part of the expert design process to give users outstanding performance.
MGB Suspension Kits
MGBs are one of the most popular classic cars and are often used for motorsports such as historic rallying and circuit racing. Traditionally they would have standard rubber bushes which when new are flexible and absorb some vibrations from the road. This also means that they allow movement with the suspension geometry which results in adverse handling. Replacing these bushes with a modern upgraded bush will improve handling and ride quality, as well as lasting longer.
SuperPro offer a range of components to fit MGBs, including a front & rear suspension kit (KIT5119K) for MGB/GT/V8 Chrome Bumper cars, as well as specific replacement bushes.
Nissan X-Trail T31 and Renault Koleos H45 lower front control arms
The Nissan X-Trail T31 (2007-2013) was one of the most popular compact off-roaders of its time, however, like most vehicles in this class, they work their suspension hard and, in particular, the vertical pivot bushes on the front lower control arms (AKA wishbones). Once that bush fails, it transfers all the suspension load into the locator bush - which it's not designed to handle. Once the locator bush fails, it's extremely difficult to replace due to its location in the arm - the only real solution is to throw the arms away.
This means that the best option is to replace the whole arm assemblies and SuperPro offer a complete solution to this problem : OE-spec arms with SuperPro's much-improved bushes already fitted (TRC1031). The kit includes both left and right-hand lower arms, SuperPro vertical pivoting bushes (already fitted), locator bushes and uprated balljoints.
These arms also fit the Renault Koleos H45 (2008-2010).

Why buy SuperPro?
We don't just sell Polyurethane Suspension Bushes; SuperPro provide complete solutions to suspension and steering problems.
- Better road holding
- Constant steering geometry
- Increased tyre life
- More responsive steering
- Longer service life of suspension components
- No increase in Noise, Vibration or Harshness (NVH)
Does your Classic Car need replacement bushes?
Many classic cars are often stored for long periods without being driven which means that you can spend all summer getting your Classic set up perfectly and tuck it away for Winter with everything being as it should be - only to find out in Spring that the wheels are off alignment or your bushes have failed.
Fitting the best quality SuperPro polyurethane bushes can not only prevent this problem, but it can also improve the handling, decrease tyre wear and, increase enjoyment all without introducing unwanted noise, vibration or harshness.
