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.

Citroen C3 II SC suspension bushes answer a complaint plenty of owners search for directly: a Citroen C3 suspension squeak. The second generation C3, built from 2009 to 2016, develops a dry creak from the front end at parking speeds and over small bumps, and the usual culprit is the front wishbone inner bushes rather than anything in the strut or the anti roll bar.

The reason is how the bush is loaded. The inner bushes locate the wishbone to the subframe and have to twist every time the suspension moves, so when the rubber hardens and separates from its sleeve it grips, releases and grips again. That is the squeak. The same wear also lets the wishbone shift under braking, which shows up as a steering wheel that pulls slightly and a car that follows ruts in the road rather than ignoring them. Front tyres then scrub on the inner shoulder.

Polyurethane does not harden or crack the way the original rubber does, and it keeps the wishbone where the geometry expects it. See the related C3 Picasso SH, the mechanically similar DS3, or the Citroen range.
