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 RN85 Hilux, along with its LN85, LN86 and YN85 siblings, is the two wheel drive half of the fifth generation built between 1988 and 1997. This is the generation that made the Hilux famous well beyond the trades, and it is also the one people most often keep going rather than replace.
Keeping one honest means looking at the leaf springs. On a Toyota RN85 the spring eye bushes carry the axle’s fore and aft location, and the rear shackle allows the spring to change length as it works. Both use rubber that hardens, cracks and then crushes. The result on a Mk5 Hilux is familiar: a shunt through the driveline when you lift off, a rear end that steps out of line over a rough surface, and tyres that scrub unevenly no matter how carefully the tracking is set.
Polybush replaces all the spring eye bushes and the rear shackle to body bush with polyurethane that keeps its shape. If yours is the RN90 variant, see the Mk5 RN90 page; for four wheel drive see the leaf sprung Mk5 4WD version or the full Toyota range.
