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
As VW’s luxury flagship, the Phaeton (2002 to 2016) was built to glide, so the moment its front suspension bushes start to perish the drop in refinement is obvious. This is a heavy saloon that leans hard on its front control arms, and the bushes there carry a lot of load. When they soften you get a dull thud over expansion joints, a shimmy through the wheel under braking, and a car that no longer settles the way it should on a motorway cruise.
Polybush makes polyurethane replacements for the parts that wear on the Phaeton’s D1 platform, including the front lower front control arm outer bush, the front lower rear control arm bush (75mm outer diameter), the front upper control arm bush and the front anti-roll bar drop link bush. Because the Phaeton shares this chassis with the Audi A8, our bushes are a proven fit that restores the tight, planted feel these cars had when new.
