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 A8 D2 (4D2, 4D8) from 1997 to 2002 was Audi’s aluminium-bodied flagship, and its sophisticated multi-link suspension carries a lot of weight on a set of bushes that are now decades old. If your D2 clonks over bumps, feels vague at speed or has an alignment that will not settle, those bushes are almost certainly perished.
The front upper and lower links each rely on a bush, and once the rubber hardens and cracks the geometry drifts, softening the steering and wearing the front tyres unevenly. Given the mass of this car the rear arm and subframe bushes wear heavily too, letting the back feel loose and unsettled over poor surfaces.
Our polyurethane bushes for the A8 D2 restore the composed, precise feel this luxury saloon was designed to have, and they hold up to oil, heat and salt where the factory rubber has long since failed. They are essential to a proper suspension rebuild. See the newer A8 D3 range, the related A6 C5 bushes, or the wider Audi selection.
