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 four-wheel-drive Skoda Octavia Mk1 swapped the standard car’s torsion beam for a more sophisticated independent rear suspension, giving it real all-weather ability. That independent setup relies on healthy bushes, and on 2000 to 2006 cars the original rubber has long since hardened, so a 4×4 Octavia loses its composure and starts to feel loose and noisy.

At the front, the control arm front and rear bushes and the anti-roll bar bushes wear and take the precision out of the steering. The independent rear locates on a set of arm bushes that soften with age, letting the back axle move under power and braking, which is exactly what you do not want in a car meant to put its drive down cleanly. Worn bushes also scrub the tyres unevenly.

A polyurethane bush kit brings the four-wheel-drive Skoda Octavia back to a tight, surefooted feel and lasts far longer than rubber against road salt. The two-wheel-drive car uses the simpler torsion beam, so compare the Octavia Mk1 range, move up to the Octavia Mk2, or view the full Skoda range.
