They will take an hour of your life, damage your paint, and delay your project
Honestly, do these companies check the fitment of these parts they make?
I have some in my bin if anyone wants to try themselves.
First and last time for me.

SuperPro LC LJ outrigger bushes........don’t do it........don’t........they don’t fit in the hole.

Nah, just not holding your tongue the right way and not enough K-Y.

Trust me, I tried lube and the tongue.....it wasn’t going in without modification

Everybody i know is going back to rubber that plastic is junk
I have rubber in most of the moving parts.
In hindsight rubber will be better in this location as well.

I've had superpro outrigger bushes in mine for over 30 years. Outlasted rubber bushes and still going strong.
Although all the rest of my suspension bushes are rubber.

That black bush looks like Whiteline to me
Hey... your in QLD.. if they are close take your bushes back to Superpro (Fulcrum Suspensions) and tell them about it
They won't change or improve a product if they don't know it doesn't fit
This goes for Rares or anyone... tell them !!
The guy who owns Fulcrum is very receptive to knowing stuff and always looking to improve his products

I had the misfortune of trying to fit a pair of these recently . 30 min job turned into 3 hrs.
Stick with the 2 pce bush.
The outrigger has little to no torsional stress so poly is better than rubber in this application.
I wonder if the poly will ever outgrow the stigma . They really aren't as bad as some sheeple make them out to be.

As above a bugger of a job..couldn't and wouldn't go in.
Ended up with the bush between to big washers, with a bit of thread bar up the middle. Nuts each side, lube, rattle gun.
5 seconds and in. Done.
Not saying its always that easy.

Put the Sup. Pro blue ones in a car a few years ago.

This is what I did but the lead in on the bush is not adequate to start the bush in the hole.
Unlike the original rubber ones it’s not very compliant, so starting the bush in the hole is the problem.
They've tried to reinvent the wheel & failed miserably .I had the misfortune of trying to fit a pair of these recently . 30 min job turned into 3 hrs.Stick with the 2 pce bush.The outrigger has little to no torsional stress so poly is better than rubber in this application.I wonder if the poly will ever outgrow the stigma . They really aren't as bad as some sheeple make them out to be.
I looked at these at the start and was concerned these were people compromising to make the part easier to make.
Maybe I’ll get this type?

I’ve contacted them.........the initial response was.........we have tested them and they work......the design has been around for years.
I received a photo of the original rubber one as a reference.
I’ve highlighted the difference between the rubber and poly......and asked for a fitment guide..........
They have made a offer to fit new ones if I can take it to them, which I can’t unfortunately........but I have offered for them to come over and check it out.
I’m open to suggestions, magic tools, super tricks, whatever puts them in the hole.....
