We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.
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.
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 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!
These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications
The Skoda Scala is a modern, MQB-based family hatch that replaced the Rapid, and it handles neatly thanks to a well-sorted strut front and torsion-beam rear. Even on a relatively recent car the rubber bushes eventually soften under daily use, and a higher-mileage Scala can start to feel less sharp, with the odd knock over bumps.
The front lower control arm bushes wear first and take the edge off the steering, while the anti-roll bar bushes soften and add roll. At the rear, the torsion beam axle mounts to the body through bushes that harden over time and let the back of the car track less tidily. This is the same layout used across the current Fabia and VW Polo.
Our polyurethane suspension bushes for the Skoda Scala restore its crisp, planted feel and resist the salt and grime of everyday driving. The supermini it shares its platform with is the Fabia Mk3, the car it replaced is the Rapid, and both sit within the full Skoda range.
