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.

Opel Vivaro B Mk2 (X82) Suspension Bushes (2014–2018) – Europe

The Opel Vivaro B Mk2 (X82) is a popular choice across European fleets, trades, delivery networks, and passenger transport. Despite its relatively recent production, suspension bush and subframe bush wear is common in high-mileage commercial use across variable European road and weather conditions.

Signs of wear include:

  • Front-end knocking or vibration

  • Loose or vague steering feel

  • Increased body roll under load

  • Reduced braking stability

  • Tyre wear from subframe movement

These issues can compromise handling, safety, and fleet efficiency across European operations.


Subframe Bush Failure – Polybush 47E

The front subframe bushes are a critical wear point. When they deteriorate, the subframe can shift under braking or acceleration, causing instability and alignment issues.

Polybush Part 47E is a precision-engineered polyurethane replacement compatible with both Vivaro B Mk2 (X82) and Vivaro A Mk1 (X83). Designed for European fleet conditions, it:

  • Resists oil contamination and road salt

  • Withstands temperature extremes from Nordic winters to Southern European heat

  • Maintains integrity under repeated heavy load cycles

  • Lasts 4–5 times longer than OEM rubber

This ensures consistent handling, improved braking stability, and reduced downtime for commercial operators.


Complete Suspension Upgrade

Polybush offers a full range of Vivaro B Mk2 suspension bushes across all critical wear points:

  • Front lower arm bushes

  • Rear trailing arm bushes

  • Anti-roll bar bushes

  • Subframe bushes (47E)

Upgrading provides:

  • Tighter, more responsive steering

  • Reduced body roll under heavy loads

  • Lower cabin vibration and noise

  • Enhanced braking control

All bushes are direct-fit, using original mounting points with no suspension geometry modifications, enabling quick fleet-wide upgrades.


Built for European Fleets

Polybush polyurethane suspension bushes deliver long-term durability, safer handling, and lower maintenance costs for commercial fleets operating throughout Europe — from high-mileage urban deliveries to long-haul passenger transport.
