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

Anyone keeping a JA-shell Fiesta on the road past twenty-five years knows the rubber suspension bushes were never built to last this long. On the Mk4 and Mk5 (1996-2002), the front lower arm and wishbone bushes are usually the first to go soft, which is what brings on the clonk over potholes, the wandering feel through the wheel and the tyre edges scrubbing away faster than they should.

A worn front end on these cars also tends to show up as an MOT advisory for play in the suspension, and once the original bushes have cracked there is no putting life back into them. Our polyurethane parts for the Fiesta Mk4 and Mk5 replace that tired rubber with a material that keeps its shape, so the geometry stays put and the steering sharpens up again.

Because owners often ask about a full refresh, the front bushes can be bought together as suspension kits rather than piecemeal, with anti-roll bar mounts included where fitted. Have a look across the Ford polyurethane bush range, move up to the Fiesta Mk6 bushes if you run the later JH car, or read up on the Fiesta Mk3 bushes for the preceding GFJ shell.
