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
Anyone comparing Focus RS Mk1 Powerflex bushes against the Polybush alternative is usually chasing the same thing: a front end that stops washing wide when 212bhp goes through it. The Mk1 RS and the ST170 sit on the same Control Blade chassis as the ordinary Focus but with considerably more asked of every pivot, and that shows up far sooner.
The fitment detail that catches people out is at the front. These cars use the 14mm bolt wishbone front bush, not the 12mm item fitted to the standard Mk1, so a part that looks identical on a shelf will not go in. Behind it, the wishbone rear bush takes braking load. At the rear, the track arm inner and outer, the cast upper arm inner and outer, the toe arm bushes and the trailing arm bush hold the toe angle the car was set up with, and on a torque steering front drive car that angle is what decides whether it tightens or runs on.
The large and small rear engine mount bushes matter here too. See the standard Focus Mk1, the Mk2 ST, or the Ford range.
