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

Volvo S40 Mk2 suspension bushes cover the 544 built from 2004 to 2012, the compact saloon that spent most of its life as a company car and is now on its second or third private owner. That history matters: these are high mileage cars that were serviced to a schedule, and suspension bushes are not on any schedule, so almost every surviving S40 is running on its original rubber.

Polybush covers it with one kit for the front wishbone and rear suspension that deliberately excludes the trailing arm bush, which is ordered separately. Worth knowing before you open the box and think something is missing. The reason is that the trailing arm bush usually outlasts the others, so most owners do not need it. What does wear is the front wishbone pair, which lets the car tramline and pull under braking, and the rear track arm and toe arm bushes, which allow the rear to go vague on a motorway long before anything knocks.

Check the wishbone rear bush holder, handed or non-handed, before ordering. Compare the C30, the V50, or browse the Volvo range.
