Rough roads & Super pro bushes

Fitted new front lower arms that came with Super Pro bushes. Completely ruined my ride on rough surfaces. If I leave these on, I'm sure the interior will shake itself to bits.

Just a heads up to others who go off road or live in 3rd world countries etc Thumbs Up

I think the best advice is to stick to standard, genuine bushes. A lot of time, money and research goes into ride and handling at the design stage. Poly bushes are good in a few situations, but rarely better that OE IMHO.

Well I’ve had SuperPro bushes on my D3 for a while now, and go off road a lot, as the wife and I are into Overlanding. The standard bushes lasted one trip. I replaced with Poly Bushes, and they were terrible as they were too tight and the suspension struggled to go up and down. I replaced with SuperPro, and have been fantastic.

Each to their own I suppose.
