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
Toyota built the four wheel drive Mk5 Hilux in two quite different forms, and this page covers the earlier arrangement: leaf springs front and rear, on the RN105, LN106 and YN106. It is the tougher and simpler of the two, favoured by anyone who works a truck hard, and it is the version most likely still to be earning its keep.
Leaf springs at the front change what wears. A Toyota Hilux Mk5 built this way puts steering loads as well as drive and braking loads through the front spring eyes, so those bushes take a beating that a coil or torsion bar truck never gives them. Once they have crushed, the front axle can move under braking and the steering develops a vagueness that no amount of tracking adjustment will cure. The rear shackle and upper shackle bushes then add their own share of movement.
Polybush supplies all the spring eye bushes, the rear shackle to body bush and the leaf spring upper shackle bush. For the independent front suspension version see the Mk5 4WD IFS page, or compare the Mk5 2WD and the full Toyota range.
