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

A knocking front end and steering that has lost its edge are the classic signs of tired bushes on the VW Golf Mk4 4Motion (1J), the four-wheel-drive version built between 1998 and 2003. On this platform the front wishbone rear bush is usually the first to go, giving a distinct clonk over broken tarmac and an MOT advisory long before anything else wears out. The rear multi-link setup then follows, with the track arm and trailing arm bushes softening and letting the back axle feel loose.

Polybush covers the 4Motion end to end, with polyurethane replacements for the front wishbone front and rear bushes, the steering rack mount, front anti-roll bar bushes, the subframe rear bush and top mounts, plus the rear track arm inner and outer bushes and the rear trailing arm to chassis bush. These parts are shared across the wider VW Group, so fitment is proven on thousands of cars.

If you are chasing a front-end knock, our guide on the front wishbone rear bush is worth a read. You can also compare the two-wheel-drive Golf Mk4 or browse the full VW range.
