Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SuperPro KIT141K include?
The KIT141K is a complete rear leaf spring and shackle bushing kit containing all polyurethane bushings needed to replace every rear leaf spring and shackle bushing on the Nissan Frontier D40 platform.

Will the SuperPro KIT141K fit my 2009 Suzuki Equator?
Yes, the KIT141K is compatible with the 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator, which shares the Nissan Frontier D40 platform.

Do polyurethane bushings make the ride harsher than rubber?
SuperPro designs their compounds to balance performance with ride comfort. While polyurethane is firmer than factory rubber, the KIT141K is formulated to provide improved handling without significantly increasing NVH on the Frontier.

Does the SuperPro KIT141K require any special tools?
A hydraulic press or bushing driver is typically required to remove the old bushings and install the new polyurethane units. Most suspension shops have the required tooling.

Does the KIT141K require lubrication during installation?
Yes, SuperPro includes grease with the KIT141K. Apply the supplied grease to the bushings during installation to prevent squeaking and ensure correct seating.

How long will the SuperPro KIT141K last compared to factory rubber bushings?
SuperPro polyurethane bushings typically outlast factory rubber by a significant margin, with many users reporting 3-5x the service life of OEM bushings depending on usage and environment.

Is the KIT141K a direct replacement for the factory leaf spring bushings?
Yes, the KIT141K is engineered for direct OEM replacement in the Nissan Frontier D40 rear suspension without modification.

Will the SuperPro KIT141K improve towing stability on my Nissan Frontier?
Yes, polyurethane bushings reduce rear axle movement under load, which can improve stability and reduce sway when towing within the Frontier's rated capacity.

2. Support the rear axle with a floor jack to relieve tension on the leaf springs.
3. Remove the U-bolt nuts and U-bolts to separate the leaf spring from the axle.
4. Disconnect the shackle bolts at the rear and the front eye bolts to remove the leaf spring assemblies.
5. Press out the old rubber bushings using a hydraulic press or bushing driver.
6. Apply the supplied SuperPro grease to the new KIT141K polyurethane bushings.
7. Press the new bushings into position in the leaf spring eyes and shackles.
8. Reassemble the leaf springs to the axle and frame, torquing all fasteners to factory specification with the vehicle at ride height.
9. Reinstall wheels and perform a test drive to verify correct installation and alignment.
