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 second-generation Octavia (1Z) grew up considerably, moving onto the Golf Mk5 platform with its independent rear suspension. On the early 2004 to 2009 cars the rubber bushes have now aged past their best, so the Octavia’s once-composed ride turns floaty and its steering vague.

The front control arm bushes and anti-roll bar bushes are the usual first to wear, blurring the steering and letting the front knock over bumps. The multi-link rear suspension depends on its arm bushes to keep the wheels located, and as they perish the back axle shifts under cornering and braking. This hardware is shared with the Golf Mk5 and Seat Leon, so the wear is well understood.

Fitting polyurethane suspension bushes to a Skoda Octavia Mk2 restores its planted, settled feel and resists the salt that destroys rubber. The facelifted car is covered by the Octavia Mk2 (2009-2013) range, the earlier car is the Octavia Mk1, and everything sits within the full Skoda range.
