Announcement:

It has been advised by the Superior Engineering Research & Development team that this diff drop kit also fits the Isuzu M-UX.

Design Objectives

The problem with Independent Front Suspension vehicles after fitting a suspension lift is the mis-alignment of the front diff and suspension geometry.

This limitation with IFS design is the major cause of vibrations, steering problems and premature wear and damage to the vehicles cv joints and cv boots.

The Three Main advantages of Superior’s newly designed diff drop bracket are:

  1. They are designed to drop the front differential 30mm lower to re-align and fix the cv angle after a lift has been fitted.
  2. They are also designed to replace your factory crossmember with something much stronger which can withstand harsh punishment and rigors of driving offroad.
  3. Designed for maximum coverange to protect the sump without compromising the performance of your 4wd.

That’s a whole lot of bang for your buck.

Features & Benefits

The bracket is CAD engineered for the ultimate in durability and strength, laser cut from tough heavy duty 350 grade high quality Australian steel, CNC pressed for a precise fit, then sand-blasted and powder coated for hard wearing corrosion resistant protective finsh.

Drain holes are also included for easy care and maintenance, it utilises factory mounts for a straignt up fit, and is fabricated by trained qualified professionals.

This diff drop kit is proudly manufactured right here in Australia by Superior Engineering.

This ensures your getting a true quality GENUINE component, unlike the slightly cheaper and greatly weaker Chinese versions starting to appear within the industry.

A full fitting kit is provided, which includes all the necessary high tensile bolts, spacers, washers and instructions for a quick, easy, straight-up installation.

To top it all off, they are 100% Street Legal and Compliant, and DO NOT require separate approvals to be used on Public roads within Australia and its territories.
