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

On the MQB platform the Skoda Octavia Mk3 offered a choice of rear suspension, and the multi-link cars, the more powerful, four-wheel-drive and vRS models, use a proper independent setup that sharpens the handling. That sharpness only lasts while the bushes are healthy, and on 2012 to 2019 cars the original rubber is now well worn.

The front lower control arm and anti-roll bar bushes wear first and take the edge off the steering. The multi-link rear locates each wheel on its own bushes, and as these soften the back axle starts to move under cornering and braking, undoing the composure the multi-link setup was chosen for. Worn bushes also wear the tyres unevenly.

Our polyurethane bushes for the multi-link Skoda Octavia Mk3 restore its tied-down handling and resist the salt and grime that rot rubber. Lower-powered cars use a torsion beam instead, so see the Octavia Mk3 Rear Axle range, the newer Octavia Mk4, or the full Skoda range.
