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

The early Seat Altea, built from 2004 until May 2009, is the one with the pressed rear lower toe arm. That single detail separates it from every later car and it is the reason Seat Altea bushes are listed as two distinct sets on this site. Check the arm on your own car before ordering, because the pressed and folded versions take different bushes and neither will do the other’s job.

What these cars have in common is a multi link rear axle carrying a fairly tall, fairly heavy body. Twenty years on, the rear upper arm inner and outer bushes have softened, the track arm lower inner and outer bushes have followed, and the toe angle the car was set up with no longer holds when it is loaded. The result is inside edge tyre wear and a rear end that feels lazy through a roundabout. At the front the wishbone bushes blunt the steering long before they make any noise.

Rear anti roll bar bushes come in 20.5mm and 21.7mm for this period. See the 2009 to 2015 cars, the Leon Mk 2, or the full Seat range.
