Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i found out recently that only a few companies were able to make aftermarket suspension arms road legal. i found out the day before i was about to get my A frame 3 link done..... just letting people know that allthough places sell them they MAY not be legal.

to be legal in qld they have to be xrayed
simple as that

when they say they are engineered they mean that an engineer designed them and or inspected them it dont mean transport will approve them

my mechy said that superior engineering is one of the few companies that has made the effort to go straight for approval (my guess is to take the "for offroad use only" note from the bottom of the receipt). 3rds have approval he was pretty certain.

even with the xray (expensive) they have been known to decline due to moving parts etc. such as 3 link pivot with the brass bushes (might wear over time and therefore unsafe.

just lettin people know

yep
this is why im trying to make my rear work with factory parts
then get stronger ones made once its engineered
that way ill have stockers for when transport cracks it at me

All my 3rd's gear passed engineering for rego here in QLD with no problems.

ill keep that in mind

does this mean superior arms are legal to just bolt in?

No, you must get approval from DOT before fitment, then inspection after fitment.

This is correct. I had to get the roll cage and lift certified and the trailing arms and other after market stuff was done as part of that.

gaint racing, chris, says his arms are all approved.

Yep - from BATC in Tingalpa. Fully engineered and approved for fitment, but you still must apply and be approved to have fitted, then inspection.
