What Do The Different Grades Mean?

When There’s No Option Available:

We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.

Comfort (Blue 65A):

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.

Dynamic (Orange 75A):

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 (RED 85A):

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!

Machinable Material:

These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications

The KZN165 and its relatives, the LN167, LN172, RZN169, RZN174 and VZN167, make up the four wheel drive side of the sixth generation Hilux built from 1997 to 2005. These are the trucks that carried the model into the modern era, and they still turn up doing farm and site work that would retire most vehicles twice over.

A Toyota Hilux KZN165 that has done that kind of work has leaf springs whose eye bushes have been crushed, cooked and soaked. The failure is gradual, which is why owners often live with it. First the rear axle gains a little fore and aft movement, felt as a shunt when you come on and off the throttle. Then the shackle bush follows, and the back of the truck starts taking its own line over rough ground while the front tries to correct.

Polybush replaces all the spring eye bushes and the rear shackle to body bush with polyurethane that will not soften with age or contamination. See the Mk6 2WD versions, the earlier Mk5 4WD, or the full Toyota range.
