I am looking at replacing my Genuine Land Rover ARB bushes with Superpro ones.

My car has always had an appetite for Front arb bushes and after about the 6th set under warranty i have finally given up with them and the knocking when they fail after a year!

Is anyone using the Superpros and what are your thoughts? 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Just to close this off the Superpro bushes were installed today in the Front and Rear ARBs. No more knocking and rides superb. The Genuine LR bushes that came out were completely shot and they had been in 13 months. I could of claimed this on parts warranty but to be honest even if they replaced them free of charge a new set would probably only last the same amount of time so pointless. Only ever heard good things reference the Superpros so I dont plan on revisiting them anytime soon  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Hi Chris, I'm fairly sure Disco_Mikey mentioned that he fits these rather than standard ARB bushes and never had any problems.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Morning Wayne, hope you are well mate? Thats good to hear, hopefully wont have to mess around with them any more  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

I had my ARB bushes replaced last year and I assume my indie just used standard bushes. They were last changed when I bought the car in 2016 so whilst this is not ideal, it is a Range Rover so what can I expect. Hopefully I won't have to change them again but if I do I'll go for the Superpros. Please keep us in the loop as to how they perform long term. Robin

I've got Powerflex ARB on the front and have had no knocking in years - yay! Its definitely the way to go

I've got a kit of bushes from https://floflex.co.uk to go on to replace all other bushes as they wear out, as they surely will shortly.

Good to know - cheers Puff Robin

How's the ride

I cant tell the difference between a set of Genuine LR to the SuperPros so i would say no difference in ride at all. The main purpose of fitting these was for Longevity so its a bonus that it rides the same, as I believe in the early days of poly bushes people used to say they were very harsh on the ride, but these are spot on  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Well it looks like I'm going to join the club of having the ARB bushes replaced.

Looking at the Orange polybushes.

Any idea on how much to have them changed?
My local Indy is saying £235 for the front and £144 for the rear

Sound OK? or? Current car - 2016 MY17 L494 in black - sometimes towing a Buccaneer Cruiser.

No idea what make the Orange poly bushes are but Super Pro bushes are purple.  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

They look exactly like the purple ones - just in orange.
Just wondering what people had paid to get them fitted
Or is everyone better at doing the actual spannering than me?
