SuperPro KIT173K for your Jeep Wrangler JK SuperPro is the ideal choice for bush replacement for repair, performance upgrade and lifted Wranglers.
SuperPro out performs the original O.E bushings in every location on the vehicle.
Repair
As the O.E rubber bushings deteriorate they induce undesirable characteristics into the handling of these vehicles. Having a solid axle, front and rear, the trailing arm bushes stabilize the fore and aft movement of both axles.
As these bushings wear they impart steering angles on the vehicle causing the vehicle to wander all over the road and make the vehicle subject to slight to severe directional changes under braking.
The panhard rod bushes control the sideways movement of both axles; wear in these bushings make the vehicle unstable at higher speeds and prone to directional changes under braking.
SuperPro bushings are more durable and give more positive arm location than the O.E rubber bushing, resulting in a vehicle that gives the driver confidence.
Performance
The additional of bigger, wider wheels and tyres to the Wrangler seriously impact the performance of the O.E rubber bushes.
Increasing the tire contact patch increases the amount of rubber in contact with the road; this in turn amplifies the drag and load imparted on the rubber trailing arm bushings.
This will cause instability under braking and dramatically reduce their service life.
Fitting SuperPro bushings at the same time as the wider wheels will enhance the vehicles suspension to handle the additional forces imparted by the bigger tires.
Upgrade
Suspension lifts also dramatically alter the performance of an O.E rubber bushing. Most rubber bushings work through a limited range of rotation and have voiding in specific locations for their optimal performance, increasing the ride height of a vehicle changes all these parameters.
SuperPro bushings provide superior control and in most locations on the Wrangler work as a free pivoting bearing, regardless of ride height.
Lifting a vehicle also lifts the center of gravity, in turn inducing greater Yaw Moment of Inertia on the suspension, requiring a more resilient suspension bushing in every location to control the attitude of the upper and lower trailing arms.
