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
Four wheel drive changed what a Hilux was for. The LN36, LN46, RN36 and RN46 versions of the Mk3, sold between 1978 and 1983, sit higher, weigh more and spend far more of their lives off tarmac than the two wheel drive trucks. Every one of those facts is hard on suspension bushes.
On a Mk3 Hilux running four wheel drive the leaf springs work through a wider arc, so the spring eyes see more rotation and the shackles swing further. That is why this version needs the leaf spring upper shackle bush as well as the full set of spring eye bushes and the rear shackle to body bush. Ignore the upper shackle and the rear axle gains lateral slop, which feels like the back of the truck taking a slightly different line to the front over a rough surface.
Polyurethane suits this job particularly well, because it does not soften when it gets wet, muddy or oily, and a 1983 Hilux worked properly will be all three. See the Mk3 2WD, step up to the Mk4 4WD, or browse the Toyota range.
