We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.
Our Comfort grade bushes are designed to enhance ride quality and minimise road noise, making them ideal for everyday driving. They are softer, providing maximum suspension articulation and a cushioned feel that absorbs bumps and vibrations effectively. This softer composition ensures a smoother, quieter driving experience, especially in Classic cars or Land Rovers. Comfort bushes maintain a balance between originality and ease of driving, catering to those who value a relaxed Factory-Fresh drive.
The Dynamic grade bushes offer a middle ground between Comfort and Performance. They are slightly firmer than the Comfort bushes, which improves handling and cornering response without sacrificing too much ride comfort. These bushes are ideal for drivers who enjoy a more engaging driving experience while still needing a level of comfort for daily use, whilst also being suitable for spirited driving & light track use.
Performance grade bushes are the stiffest of the three, designed for enthusiasts who demand the utmost in handling and control. They offer minimal deflection, enhancing vehicle response and stability during aggressive driving. These bushes are perfect for high-performance or track vehicles where precision and handling are critical. While they might sacrifice some ride comfort, they deliver superior driving dynamics and control, ideal for those who push their vehicle to its limits – Including Towing!
These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications
Owners of the Audi A1 (8X1, 8XF) built between 2010 and 2018 often come to us chasing a knock from the front suspension or an MOT advisory against perished bushes. Sitting on the same platform as the Volkswagen Polo Mk5, this supermini works its front end hard in town, and the factory rubber bushes soften and split with age and mileage.
The front lower control arm bushes are the first to suffer, giving vague steering, a dull thud over speed humps and premature tyre wear on the inner edges. Anti-roll bar bushes tend to follow, adding rattles and a loose feel when you turn in. Left alone, the wear spreads to the mounts and makes the whole front axle feel tired.
Our polyurethane bushes for the A1 bring back the sharp, planted feel these cars had when new, and they shrug off the salt and oil that destroy rubber. Fit them as part of a front-end refresh and the improvement is immediate. Explore the wider Audi bush range, the performance A1 Quattro bushes, or the platform-related VW Polo Mk5 range.
