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 first Audi Q3 (8UB, 8UG) from 2011 to 2018 is a compact SUV built on the PQ35 platform, and its raised body and family-car mileage mean the suspension bushes wear steadily. A knock over broken tarmac, steering that has gone a little vague, or uneven front tyre wear are the familiar signs an owner needs fresh bushes.

The front control arm bushes take the load on this tall crossover, and as they soften the geometry drifts, blunting the steering and scrubbing the front tyres. The rear axle bushes wear too, and with the extra height that shows up as a loose, slightly wallowy feel through corners and over undulating roads.

Our polyurethane bushes for the Q3 8U tighten the steering and settle the ride while resisting the salt and grime a crossover meets year-round, lasting far longer than the factory rubber. They are a sensible upgrade during a suspension refresh. See the newer Q3 F3B range, the related A3 8P bushes, or the Q5 range.
