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

Front-wheel-drive Skoda Octavia Mk4s use a torsion-beam rear axle, a lighter and simpler setup that suits the everyday cars well. As the miles build and the original rubber bushes soften, the rear axle begins to feel loose and the car less composed, with knocks over bumps and a vaguer back end under braking.

The torsion beam mounts to the body through large rear axle bushes, and these are the usual cause of an Octavia Mk4’s rear suspension feeling unsettled once they wear. At the front, the control arm and anti-roll bar bushes soften too, dulling the steering and adding roll. Firmer polyurethane brings the precision back and holds it.

Fitting polyurethane bushes to a torsion-beam Skoda Octavia Mk4 firms up the rear axle and sharpens the steering, and they last far longer than rubber against road salt. The multi-link and vRS cars are covered by the Octavia Mk4 Multi-Link range, the previous generation is the Octavia Mk3 Rear Axle, and both sit within the full Skoda range.
