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 Q5 (8RB) from 2008 to 2016 is a mid-size SUV sharing much of its multi-link running gear with the A4 B8, and its extra height and weight take a steady toll on the suspension bushes. A knock over speed humps, steering that no longer feels precise, or front tyres wearing on one edge usually point to bushes past their best.

The front control arm bushes carry heavy loads on this tall, all-wheel-drive body, and once they soften the geometry drifts, dulling the steering and scrubbing the front tyres. The rear multi-link and subframe bushes wear as well, which leaves the back of a loaded Q5 feeling loose and unsettled on rougher roads.

Our polyurethane bushes for the Q5 8R restore steering accuracy and a composed ride while shrugging off the salt and grime an SUV faces, lasting far longer than the factory rubber. They are a strong choice during a suspension refresh. See the related A4 B8 range, the Q3 8U bushes, or the wider Audi selection.
