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
The Audi A4 B7 (8EC, 8ED, 8HE) sold from 2005 to 2009 carried over the multi-link front end, and like its predecessors it wears through front control arm bushes as a matter of course. A tell-tale knock on turn-in, a wandering feel on the motorway or fast front tyre wear usually points straight at those bushes.
There are several links per side, each with a bush, so the front geometry depends on all of them staying tight. As the rubber ages the alignment shifts, the steering goes light and imprecise and the tyres wear in patches. At the rear, the subframe and arm bushes lose their edge, letting the back of the car feel less planted through quick direction changes.
Our polyurethane bushes for the A4 B7 bring the geometry and steering back to how the car should feel, and they resist the heat, oil and salt that rot the factory rubber. They make a lasting difference during a suspension rebuild. See the earlier A4 B6 range, the newer A4 B8 bushes, or the related A6 C6 range.
