Advice Blog

If you’re a proud owner of a VW Golf, you already know the joys of driving one of the most iconic and beloved cars on the road. From the classic Mk1 to the latest model, the VW Golf has consistently delivered on performance, style, and reliability. But what if we told you there’s a way to elevate your Golf’s performance even further? The answer lies in changing your rubber suspension bushes for Polybush.

Why Polybush is Superior to Rubber

Rubber bushes have been the standard in vehicle suspension systems for decades. They serve a purpose, but they come with significant drawbacks that can affect your car’s performance and longevity. Here’s why Polybush is the better choice:

  1. Durability and Longevity: Unlike rubber, polyurethane Polybushes are incredibly resistant to wear and tear. Rubber is prone to degradation over time, especially when exposed to fuel, oil, and other chemicals. Polybushes, on the other hand, remain unaffected by these substances, ensuring they last significantly longer.
  2. Resistance to Compression Set: Rubber bushes can suffer from compression set, meaning they lose their shape and effectiveness over time due to constant pressure and load. Polybushes maintain their shape and resilience, providing consistent performance throughout their lifespan.
  3. Enhanced Handling and Grip: Polyurethane’s resistance to deflection translates to less deflection under load. This results in more precise handling and better grip on the road. With Polybushes, your VW Golf will respond more predictably and accurately to steering inputs, making your driving experience more enjoyable and safer.

  4. Improved Braking: A more stable suspension setup directly affects your car’s braking performance. Polybushes help keep your wheels aligned and maintain better contact with the road, reducing braking distances and improving overall safety.
  5. Alignment Perfection: Rubber bushes can deteriorate and deform, leading to misalignment issues. This not only affects your car’s handling but also leads to uneven tyre wear and the need for frequent realignment. Polybushes keeps your suspension geometry intact, saving you time and money on alignment services.

The Polybush Advantage

Installing Polybushes in your VW Golf will transform your driving experience. Here’s how:

  • Sharper Handling: Polyurethanes resistance to deflection means your Golf will have a more direct and responsive feel, giving you confidence through corners and during high-speed manoeuvres.
  • Better Comfort: While polyurethane can be firmer than rubber, it’s also more effective at damping vibrations and road noise. This results in a smoother, more comfortable ride.
  • Longevity: Polybushes outlast rubber bushes by a considerable margin, meaning fewer replacements and less maintenance over the life of your vehicle.
  • Consistent Performance: With Polybushes, you can trust that your suspension will perform consistently, regardless of weather conditions or exposure to harsh chemicals.
