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?
If you want to push the diff forward to straighten up your coils we offer the Hybrid Radius Arm Spacers.
NOTE: To fit Sway Bar Mounts you will require 85mm sway bar mounts and bushes.
If you do not have sway bar mounts or you have 75mm mounts you can purchase the required ones below.

Fig. 1 shows the Superior Arm deflecting only 4.1mm under load with real-world load points.
Fig. 2 shows the Competitor's Arm deflecting 24.91mm under the same load points and loads, almost the same as the width of the Arm itself.
Also of note is the Competitor's Arm deflected to a point that may cause metal fatigue over time, which may lead to total failure.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
NOTE: Please check ABS sensor lines(if fitted) are free to move through the full range of travel.
Factory bump stops may need to be extended depending on the coils and shock combination used.
Due to the huge variances in different weights of vehicles/heights variances and suspension combinations in
vehicles it is highly recommended to move your suspension in the full range of the
shock absorber compression/rebound travel and also taking into consideration coil bind,
check all areas for clearance issues, if you require more assistance in this talk to one of our sales team for further advice.
Cast radius arms are more vulnerable to breaking, leaving your vehicle undrivable and you stranded.
In the event of a major crash or major impact Superior Engineering Radius arms may bend but will never crack and fail
Below is a video of Nissan Patrol GU passing an LT2 Lane Change Test with ease, this test shows the Patrol passing the test loaded to GVM at 110km/h.
Proof that Superior Engineering Superflex and Radius Arms can still handle when on-road as well as the added flex off-road.
