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
Ford Kuga suspension questions almost always arrive at the same component. On the Mk2 DM2, built from 2012 to 2019, the rear trailing arm bush takes the brunt of every braking input on a tall vehicle that is usually carrying a family and their luggage, and it is the part owners find when they go looking for a knock from the back of the car.
It is rarely alone by the time anyone investigates. The toe arm inner and outer bushes set how much toe the rear gains as the body rolls, and the rear upper arm bushes contribute too, though note that Ford used a pressed arm on this model rather than the cast item found elsewhere in the range, so the bushes are specific. A 17mm rear anti roll bar bush and a 24mm front bar bush control roll, and at the front the non handed bush holder and 14mm bolt bush complete the picture.
Polyurethane holds the geometry without making a family car harsh. See the Kuga Mk1, the Focus Mk3 of the same era, or browse the Ford range.
