Description
The Problem with the standard Nissan radius arm design is that the rear pin style mounting puts a lot of load on the mushroom bushes when the arms flex down.
And this is the main cause of premature failure of the bushes.
The difference between our new design arms over the standard Nissan radius arm is the use of a Toyota-style rear bush.
This change allows increased life from the rear bush when flexing the arms up off-road, by allowing the arm to flex down without the binding found in the pin-style design.
With the arms, we supply the mounting drop boxes that are a straight bolt-in design requiring no cutting and all bolts needed for mounting.
We also supply fitting instructions and all the bushes are pressed into the arms so you don"t have to.
With these arms, you will get the drivability you need and longer life from your bushes. Why not have extra flex as well as good on-road handling?
This is a Superior Engineering Superflex Hybrid Radius Arm with DropBox Suitable For Nissan Patrol GQ/GU with a 4-inch lift.
