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
A knocking front end or a steering wheel that no longer feels connected is a familiar story on the Audi A3 Mk1 2WD (8L) from 1996 to 2003. These cars share the well-known PQ34 platform with the Golf Mk4, and after this many years the original rubber bushes have almost always lost their shape and their damping.
The front lower control arm bushes take most of the abuse and are usually the reason for a dull clonk over bumps, vague steering and an MOT advisory. On the front-wheel-drive A3 the anti-roll bar bushes and drop link mounts wear next, which brings extra body roll and a woolly feel when you change direction. Worn bushes also chew through tyres unevenly.
Our polyurethane suspension bushes for the A3 8L restore the tight, direct handling these hatchbacks are known for and resist the oil and salt that rot rubber. They are an ideal upgrade during a front-end overhaul. Take a look at the A3 Mk1 Quattro range, the platform-related VW Golf Mk4 bushes, or the wider Audi bush selection.
