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 Opel Vivaro B Mk2 continues the legacy of one of Europe’s most celebrated commercial van platforms, serving UK operators across diverse sectors including delivery services, trade operations, passenger transport, and specialist applications. This generation incorporates modern platform engineering yet maintains the robust commercial credentials that have made Vivaro such a trusted name in business transport. Suspension performance proves absolutely critical to reliable operation, where worn bushes compromise steering precision, reduce stability under load, and generate unwanted noise that fatigues drivers during extended working days.

Polybush manufactures polyurethane suspension bushes specifically engineered for the Opel Vivaro B Mk2 (X82) platform covering 2014-2018 production years. Our comprehensive bush range addresses the complete suspension system: front lower arm bushes experiencing the highest mechanical stress, rear trailing arm attachments, anti-roll bar components managing body roll, and subframe mounting points. Polyurethane construction delivers superior durability compared to factory rubber components, resisting the harsh conditions that accelerate bush degradation in commercial vehicles: oil and fuel contamination, salt spray exposure from winter road treatment, temperature cycling from outdoor parking and intense engine heat, and continuous mechanical stress from loaded weight variations. Polyurethane bushes typically maintain performance 4-5 times longer than rubber, directly reducing maintenance frequency and vehicle downtime costs.

Commercial operators report significant practical improvements after upgrading to Polybush suspension bushes. Steering response becomes noticeably sharper and more confident, body control tightens substantially when carrying loads or navigating congested urban environments, and overall vehicle stability improves dramatically. Cabin noise transmission from the suspension decreases markedly, improving driver comfort and reducing fatigue during extended working shifts. Braking feel improves through firmer suspension geometry and reduced body dive, enhancing safety margins during emergency stops. The Vivaro B Mk2’s refined platform responds particularly well to polyurethane upgrades, with operators appreciating the enhanced predictability and control across diverse operational scenarios.

Our three material grades accommodate different commercial priorities and operational profiles. Comfort bushes emphasise ride smoothness and noise isolation, ideal for passenger-focused operations including minibus conversions and shuttle services. Dynamic bushes optimise handling responsiveness and body control, suitable for standard commercial delivery and trade operations. Performance bushes deliver maximum durability and precision for intensive cargo operations, providing exceptional control and minimal deflection under demanding commercial stress. Many fleet operators strategically select different grades for different vehicles based on operational profiles. Installation utilises original mounting points without geometry modifications, allowing straightforward fitment by experienced mechanics or commercial specialists. Whether maintaining a single Vivaro B Mk2 or managing multi-vehicle commercial fleets, Polybush polyurethane bushes deliver reliability, durability, and improved operational safety that rubber components cannot match.
