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

Seat Leon Mk 3 rear axle bushes are for the 5F1 cars fitted with a torsion beam rather than a multi link rear end, which covers most of the lower powered engines sold between 2012 and 2020. It is a deliberately simple design, and the whole rear axle hangs on one substantial bush per side.

Because so little is holding it, that bush has an outsized effect on how the car behaves. It locates the axle fore and aft, it controls how much toe the rear gains as the body rolls, and it absorbs the shock of a pothole taken at speed. When it perishes the symptoms arrive in a familiar order: first a knock over sharp bumps, then inner edge tyre wear that no amount of tracking will fix, then a rear end that feels like it is arriving a beat late.

Renewing it in polyurethane restores the geometry without the harshness owners often expect, because the springs and tyres still do the absorbing. Front wishbone bushes and 23mm or 24mm anti roll bar bushes are also listed. Compare the multi-link Mk 3, the Mk 4 rear axle, or the Seat range.
