After years of testing, TeraFlex has perfected our all-new IR (Independent Rotation) Bushings. These innovative bushings debut in our new Alpine IR Control Arms featured in some of our JL Wrangler Suspension Systems.
Although traditional rubber bushings offer quiet operation and satisfactory longevity, their limitations began to surface during off-road driving and extreme articulation. Suspension bushings must twist as well as rotate, which causes suspension bind. The effects worsen as lift heights and suspension travel increase.
TeraFlex IR Bushings end the industry-wide struggle to engineer zero maintenance bushings with unrestricted droop. IR Bushings feature an innovative inner sleeve that freely rotates 360 degrees without placing load on the bushing. The internal contact surfaces of the rotating sleeve feature an extremely tough, hardened bearing surface that is factory lubricated and permanently sealed.
IR Bushings remove bushing bind during suspension compression whether on the highway or the trail. This results in a noticeable ride improvement. Eliminating rotational stress reduces bushing failure. The free movement of the IR Bushing extends its life span. - Авто та транспорт
I freaking love this guy. I’m about to buy my IR full kit today from Doetsch and teraflex has me for life thank you for all you do
Me two learning so much but I think I am leaning towards upgrading once they have the kit for my eco diesel
I buy everything terraflex for my 2018 JKU .
Terraflex has NEVER done me wrong, and I will be a lifetime customer, and i push my friend and fellow Jeepers to Teraflex.
Dennis, you are absolutely THE BEST! Sorry I missed you at Rausch this past weekend.
I currently have Johnny joints, but if I ever go back to standard style bushings I’ll definitely be giving these a go.
Even though I am not very happy with my Teraflex Falcon lift kit, I love this guy, his humor and how he explains things. He,'s probably the reason, why I am still using Teraflex..
What’s wrong
Rancho, Metalcloak & Synergy came out with this style bushing years ago
Are their arms better or more advanced than these ones?
I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them in a practical demo.
Dennis: I'd highly recommend a video comparative to what Matson put out for their bushings a few years back. I can't have an opinion when I can't see them working.
However, that said, if they're a Teraflex product I know they've been well researched and well tested.👍
Thanks for the support. Stay tuned for more!
Have you forgot about the TeraLow 231 ... lol... sometimes it's best to wait and see products in practical application first ;-) ... a set of nice ballistic , summit, or Currie joints are proven for rod ends... if you want bushing style joints the metalcloak and synergy joints work well ... and you can get the synergy as direct replacement for the clevite bushing used in the lower arms , but with the 18mm sized thru bolt offering for the ram truck offering allowing you to ditch the factory 9/16th bolt .
If you whant to test them out I have a 98 jeep tj that needs arms bad hahahahaha Hope you make them for my year and in a long arm kir. Video quality and information is excellent!!
You're in the wrong job... need to start doing movie voiceovers. "In a world... where bushings are not made equal and your axel is droopy... one bushing stands alone"
Thanks for your videos!
Do you have IR bushings which is fit to the JKU factory control arms?
Great question! Our current JK IR bushings do actually fit into the factory control arms without issues.
@@teraflexsuspensions Thank You!
I saw one of your rigs hauling ass up Hurrah Pass last month as I was coming down. Were you testing these new bushings then? lol
Probably! #alwaysbetesting
I have the Alpine adjst control arms so I'll be fine with these?
Yes, if you decided to upgrade in the future to the IR bushings. They will for sure fit your arms. We are currently working on getting a bushing kit put together for just that application.
Will this ultimately replace all your bushing options, or will it remain an optional upgrade?
It will remain an optional upgrade, with future bushing upgrade kits becoming available soon.
@@teraflexsuspensions I just installed a Teraflex 3" lift with sport arms. If I ever need new bushings, or just want to upgrade down the road, will these be available that fit the sport arms?
Can you guys provide a link cause as of this moment I'm not able to navigate to them on your site?
Here is a list of all current IR products offered. teraflex.com/search_results?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=alpine+ir
TeraFlexSuspensions Any news on when the IR will make its way to the JK line of control arms?
Working hard to get everything put together for a JK launch. ETA hasn't been locked in. Keep an eye out for their release in the near future.
So Teraflex is selling Rancho bushings at a higher price
I know that you guys thoroughly test your products. I would really like to see one of the joints from your test rig that you have been using. Is the joint greased? If so does it require a special grease? Articulation isn't the only thing that matters, but it would be nice to see how this new joint helps to increase your flex compared to standard clevite bushings or competitors joints.
The joints are sealed race bearings and are greased from the factory. No need to ever grease them. They are specifically designed to eliminate any bushing bind making they axles able to articulate easier.
So how do these compare to Metal Cloak bushings?
While both accomplish a similar goal, they are very different.
TeraFlexSuspensions Can you elaborate on that , please?
Are these bushings exclusively for jeeps?!?!?!?
We designed them exclusively to fit our Sport and Alpine flexarms, which are currently designed to be used on Jeeps only.
Show shots of the unit while your talking from different angles.
Thanks for the feedback. We will remember that for future videos.
You want to watch him talk from different angles? To each his own, but that's pretty strange man.
hum.........look's good...
That mustache.
You're not showing the bushing binding under articulation...Your only showing compression and droop and there was
as no up close footage.. I truly can't see orings lasting lasting in that environment.... Anyone can swing an arm up & down..People want to see the forces applied to the bushing like a heim would endure at or beyond the failure point... Your video told & showed me nothing...
Is it me, or does he sound a little like Stan Lee?
