Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in KIT097K? The kit includes rear Panhard rod bushings, rear trailing arm lower bushings, and rear trailing arm upper bushings, covering all primary rear suspension pivot points for 1998-2007 Lexus LX470 and Land Cruiser.
- Do polyurethane bushings make the ride harsher? SuperPro's formulation is engineered to balance performance and ride quality. KIT097K is designed for the LX470's intended use range including light off-road, so harshness increase is minimal compared to worn OEM bushings.
- Is a press required to install these bushings? Yes, the trailing arm and Panhard rod bushings require a hydraulic or manual press to remove and install. Some bushings may be bonded; always refer to the included SuperPro instruction sheet.
- Does the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act apply to suspension bushing replacements? Yes. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, installing aftermarket suspension bushings such as KIT097K does not void your vehicle's factory powertrain or chassis warranty, provided the parts are installed correctly and do not cause damage.
- Is alignment needed after installing KIT097K? Rear alignment check is strongly recommended since the Panhard rod and trailing arm positions directly affect rear axle centering. SuperPro recommends checking alignment torque with suspension loaded at ride height.
