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 facelifted second-generation Octavia carried on with the Golf Mk5 underpinnings and their independent rear suspension, and in good order it rides and handles very tidily. By now, though, the rubber bushes on these 2009 to 2013 cars have hardened, so a late Mk2 feels looser and noisier than it should.

Up front the lower control arm and anti-roll bar bushes wear and dull the steering, while the multi-link rear relies on arm bushes that soften over time and let the back of the car move under load. The result is vague steering, tramlining and uneven tyre wear. As with the earlier Mk2, the parts are shared with the wider Volkswagen range.

A set of polyurethane bushes brings a Skoda Octavia Mk2 back to a crisp, connected feel and outlasts rubber against road salt. The pre-facelift car is the Octavia Mk2 (2004-2009), the next generation is the Octavia Mk3, and both sit within the full Skoda range.
