What did you do to your WH/XH today?

I went with Jeeperf heavy duty front diff bushes they did not last 6 months daily driving and 3 moderate-difficult trips to 4wd parks in SE QLD, I was pretty disappointed. Been needing new bushes for a while now...

What has happened to your Jeeperf bushes? Have you contacted Jeeperf about it?

Keen to know cos I was planing to get them when I need to replace mine, so never heard a bad report about them except for the cost.

Nice!

Superlift arrived yet? Or still on order? I emailed them last week about shipping costs to me in WA, still waiting to hear back.

Ordered and fitted by my local jeep workshop (experienced with WH), the Jeeperf bushes just didn't last past a couple of med-difficult trips. Shop tried a warranty claim and got nowhere, Jeeperf said they must have done a bad install. I remember it all looking good on the hoist when installed. Anyways, my workshop replaced the very front bush at no cost with OEM type as it was the worst at the time and we left the two side bushes in (Jambo2019 was following weekend). 1 year later the two side bushes are falling to pieces as well. Mostly you hear good things on Jeeperf, there are other users on here who have had a better run than me. But also there is the odd report online of failures, small scale batch manufacture of poly compounds may be a problem?? I have no particular bad feelings about it you try these things sometimes they work sometimes not... that is jeep ownership. Maybe the heavy duty poly is too stiff when flexing...WH skateboard flex that is

Possible alternative I may try:https://creative-steel.com/shop/jeep...ntial-bushing/

I used a ball-joint tool to press them in and they went in pretty easily. Took a couple of attempts to get it lined up squarely but then they squeezed through.

As for smoothness, it's a huge improvement. Feels no different to stock (non flogged) bushes.
And I don't notice any other harshness/vibrations, just tyre noise and sweet, sweet hemi notes

Ohhh yes the sound of a Hemi on the loud pedal echoing through the vic high country..

Thanks for that info! Wow I have never seen pics like that of Jeeperf's diff bushes. They're supposed to last the life of the vehicle haha. Hopefully it was just a bad batch like you said. Def making me weary about getting them in the future. Might go with SuperPro instead...

Love you comment about skateboard flex haha, I've only had live axle 4wds in the past, I am grateful for QD2 that for sure!

What bushes are most people using on their WH, I’ll replace the them while I’m doing the lift.
