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
By the time an Audi A4 B6 (8E2, 8E5, 8E7) from 2001 to 2005 reaches its current age, the multi-link front suspension is usually crying out for fresh bushes. Drivers typically notice it as a knock over rough tarmac, steering that no longer self-centres cleanly, or a stubborn alignment that will not stay put after a track and trace.
The front upper and lower link bushes are the main offenders, and as they collapse the front geometry moves around, scrubbing the outer or inner edges off the front tyres and blunting the steering. The rear suspension arm and subframe bushes soften too, adding a vague, wallowy feel at the back over undulating roads.
Fitting our polyurethane bushes to the A4 B6 locks the geometry back down, sharpens the steering and cuts out the knocks, and the material resists the oil and salt that destroy rubber. It is the natural centrepiece of a suspension overhaul. Compare the earlier A4 B5 range, the later A4 B7 bushes, or the related A4 B8 range.
