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 B9 (8W2, 8WC, 8W5, 8WD) from 2016 onwards uses a five-link front and rear set-up on the MLB Evo platform, and while these cars are newer, the bushes are still service and upgrade items. Drivers chasing the sharpest possible steering, or dealing with an early knock, often turn to a bush upgrade.
The five-link front arms each rely on a bush to hold the geometry, so any softness blunts turn-in and can let the front tyres wear unevenly. At the rear, the multiple link bushes govern how planted the car feels under power and braking, and tired items introduce a subtle vagueness that takes the shine off the chassis.
Our polyurethane bushes for the A4 B9 tighten the geometry and improve steering feel and stability, holding up to heat and road salt far better than the factory rubber. They suit keen road drivers and track use alike. Compare the earlier A4 B8 range, the A4 B9 Allroad bushes, or the related A5 B9 range.
