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 first Skoda Superb was a genuinely limousine-like car, built on the long-wheelbase Volkswagen Passat B5 platform and sharing much with the Audi A4 of the era. That sophistication came from a complex front and independent rear suspension, and on 2001 to 2008 cars the many rubber bushes involved have now perished, leaving the Superb feeling floaty and imprecise.
The front suspension uses multiple links, each on its own bush, so wear here quickly blurs the steering and lets the front knock over bumps. The independent rear locates on a further set of arm bushes that soften with age and let the back axle move under cornering and braking. On a heavy, refined car like the Superb, worn bushes are very noticeable, showing up as vague steering, tramlining and uneven tyre wear.
Our polyurethane suspension bushes bring a Skoda Superb Mk1 back to the tight, planted feel it had when new and resist the salt and grime that rot rubber. The next generation is the Superb Mk2, the closely related saloon is the Octavia Mk2, and both sit within the full Skoda range.
