What Do The Different Grades Mean?

When There’s No Option Available:

We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.

Comfort (Blue 65A):

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.

Dynamic (Orange 75A):

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 (RED 85A):

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!

Machinable Material:

These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications

The Audi A5 B8 (8T3, 8TA, 8F7) coupe, Sportback and cabriolet from 2007 to 2016 share the A4 B8’s multi-link running gear, and owners who bought one for its poised handling tend to notice when the bushes start to give up. A knock over bumps or a slightly disconnected steering feel is the usual warning.

The front control arm bushes carry the load and are the common cause of clonks and imprecise steering as the geometry wanders, taking uneven wear off the front tyres. On the cabriolet the extra weight speeds this up. The rear link and subframe bushes soften next, letting the back feel less composed through faster corners.

Our polyurethane bushes for the A5 B8 restore the tight, planted feel these cars are prized for, and they resist the heat, oil and salt that break rubber down over the years. They are an ideal upgrade during a suspension refresh. See the related A4 B8 range, the newer A5 B9 bushes, or the A7 Sportback range.
