We are hearing some chatter and seeing some people spread misinformation in facebook groups. We just wanted to clarify that the SuperPro steering knuckle (TRC6680), does not require engineering or mod plating and it is completely legal on both a state and federal level for either DIY or workshop installation. TRC6680 is VSB 14 approved, ADR compliance also does not apply to this product.

VSB 14 & How this product is compliant & legal
VSB 14 is the legal underwriting that affects aftermarket modification, where TRC6680 is classified as owner certified. Meaning that no engineer or certification is required after the product has been installed. This works the exact same as installing an upper control arm, shock, legal lift kit, spring or airbag kit.

ADR & How this product is compliant & legal
The Australian Design Rules (ADRs) are our national standards for road vehicle safety, anti-theft and emissions. All new road vehicles manufactured in Australia and imported new or second-hand vehicles, must comply with the relevant ADRs when they are first supplied to the Australian market. It’s worth noting there are no material ADR standards related to steering knuckles. However, when testing this product it met and even exceeded OE design standards.

It is essential to highlight that there are no material Australian Design Rules (ADRs) addressing the 'robustness of a vehicle.' Consequently, VSB14 serves as an excellent guide and, in practice, is the primary standard to reference when considering 'in-service modifications.'

Comparison examples of other in-service bolt in modifications that also do not require engineering / mod plate certification but are a similar replacement part / upgrade to the superpro steering knuckle, include:

- Leaf spring - Parabolic vs. original: Despite notable differences in shape and design, both comply with Original Equipment (OE) standards.

- Front Strut - OE to Formula 4x4 or equivalent: Transitioning from the OE to Formula 4x4 or an equivalent strut demonstrates conformity.

- Control Arm - Replacing a steel control arm with an Alloy Control Arm: This substitution maintains compliance with standards.

SuperPro components, implemented as 'in-service modifications,' have undergone rigorous testing in accordance with appropriate engineering standards, instilling unwavering confidence in the quality of our products.

If you hear or see anyone saying that it requires engineering, this is incorrect and they are spreading misinformation.

As always if you guys have any questions or concerns, send us a message.

"This Ode" 10/11/2023

11/11 - the day the guns fell silent. Today we remember the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in WW1, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we so often seem to take for granted.

‘At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.’

Most modern cars use a suspension system called a 'MacPherson strut' system, as pictured below.
When the MacPherson strut suspension system in a car starts to wear out or becomes damaged, it can exhibit several symptoms indicating potential issues. Here are some common symptoms of worn MacPherson struts:

Excessive Bouncing: One of the noticeable signs of worn MacPherson struts is excessive bouncing or a "bouncy" ride. When the struts lose their damping capability, they no longer effectively control the up-and-down movement of the vehicle, causing it to bounce excessively over bumps or uneven surfaces.

Poor Ride Quality: Damaged or worn MacPherson struts can lead to a noticeable decrease in ride comfort. You may experience a harsher, rougher ride, with increased vibrations and a greater impact felt from road imperfections.

Uneven Tire Wear: If the MacPherson struts are no longer properly supporting the vehicle, it can result in uneven tire wear. Excessive or uneven tire wear patterns, such as cupping or feathering, can indicate that the struts are not maintaining proper wheel alignment or providing consistent suspension support.

Nose Diving or Rear Squatting: When braking or accelerating, a worn MacPherson strut may cause the vehicle's front end to dive forward excessively during braking or the rear end to squat down during acceleration. This can affect vehicle stability and handling, compromising control.

Increased Body Roll: As the MacPherson struts lose their ability to provide proper damping and control, you may notice increased body roll or sway when cornering or maneuvering. The vehicle may feel less stable and more prone to leaning or rolling excessively.

Knocking or Clunking Noises: Worn-out or damaged MacPherson struts can produce knocking or clunking noises, especially when driving over bumps or rough surfaces. These noises may indicate loose or worn strut components, such as mounts or bushings.

For all your suspension, steering, brake and clutch, and wheel alignment needs - give us a call on 0732886115!✔️🙂

This could happen to you if you own a 2020-onwards BT-50, D-Max, or MU-X and don't get the bump steer issue fixed. It doesn't matter how many wheel alignments you get, your tyres will eventually end up like these poor people's.

The first photo was on a D-Max and the second photo was on a MU-X. Both vehicles had done under 15,000km on these tyres.

If you want to avoid this happening to yourself and own one of these models, we highly recommend you look at getting the bump steer correction kit from SuperPro. Available now on the Fulcrum website, or give us a call on 32886852!✔️🙂🙌🏼
