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

Polybush manufactures high-performance polyurethane suspension bushes for the Porsche 911 (996), covering all Carrera, Targa, Turbo, and GT models produced between 1997 and 2006. While the 996 brought a revolution in water-cooled performance, its sophisticated multi-link rear and MacPherson strut front suspension rely on precision-fit bushes to maintain composure. As the original rubber ages, owners often encounter 996 suspension knocks, vague steering response, and the notorious “pendulum effect” caused by rear-end instability.

Porsche 996 Chassis Refresh and Handling Stability
Our polyurethane bushes are engineered as direct replacements for the factory rubber within the front and rear track arms (often referred to as “coffin arms”), radius arms, and toe links. By upgrading to Polybush, you eliminate the excessive deflection that leads to “floating” at high speeds. This ensures your 996 maintains consistent camber and toe settings, providing more progressive handling and improved driver feedback through the steering rack.

5 Technical Benefits of Polybush for Porsche 911 Models
Sharper Turn-In: Removes the “slop” from the front control arms for a more immediate and precise steering response.

Maintenance-Free Dry Fit: These bushes require no grease, preventing the dirt-accruing mess and long-term squeaking often found with lubricated alternatives.

Improved Tyre Longevity: By maintaining correct suspension alignment under load, Polybush helps prevent the uneven inner-edge tyre wear common on the 996.

Enhanced Braking Composure: Minimises front-end dive and “searching” under heavy deceleration by securing the track arm radius mounts.

Oil and Road Grime Resistance: Our polyurethane is impervious to the leaks and environmental contaminants that cause standard rubber to perish and delaminate.

For any Porsche 911 (996) maintenance, replacing tired rubber with Polybush is a “fit and forget” solution that restores the factory-intended agility of this modern classic.
