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
The front-wheel-drive Audi Q2 (GAB, GAG) from 2016 onwards uses a torsion-beam rear axle, and that layout has its own wear pattern once the bushes age. Owners of these compact crossovers often come to us after noticing a rear knock over speed humps, a slightly unsettled back end, or a bush advisory flagged at the MOT.
The rear axle mounting bushes locate the whole beam, and as the rubber softens the back of the car can shift under cornering and braking, feel less stable and wear its rear tyres unevenly. Because the Q2 sits a little higher than a hatchback, that looseness is more noticeable on twisty roads and when the car is loaded.
Our polyurethane bushes for the rear-axle Q2 firm up the back end and improve stability without a harsh ride, and they resist the salt and grime that break rubber down. It is a straightforward way to sharpen a daily-driven Q2. See the Q2 multi-link range, the related A3 8V rear axle bushes, or the wider Audi selection.
