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 Escort Mk2 (1974-1980) was never a soft car, and half a century on the tired factory rubber is what stops one of these driving the way it should. Whether you run a road car, a fast-road RS2000 or a Mexico built for the stages, worn bushes let the leaf-sprung back axle move around, blunt the steering and leave the front end feeling imprecise on turn-in.

Because this is a rear-wheel-drive classic, the wear points differ from a modern hatch. Our polyurethane parts for the Escort Mk2 cover the rear spring shackle and mounting bushes that take the drive and braking loads, the front track arm and steering rack mounts that keep the geometry honest, and the anti-roll bar clamps that control roll through a corner.

Rebuilt with polyurethane, the axle stays located and the car feels tied down again on rough surfaces where rubber would flex and wander. Browse the wider Ford polyurethane bush range, look at the Escort RS Turbo bushes for the front-drive era that followed, or check our grade guide to match the compound to your build.
