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

A knock from the front end over bumps, or steering that has lost its old precision, is one of the most common complaints on the Triumph 1500 and 1500 TC built between 1970 and 1976. The rear-wheel-drive 1500 TC shares much of its running gear with the Toledo and the Dolomite that followed it, and after fifty years the original rubber suspension bushes will have hardened, cracked or collapsed.

The front upper and lower wishbone bushes take the brunt of every pothole and steering input, and as they perish you get vague, wandering steering, uneven tyre wear and clonking when you pull away or brake. The front anti-roll bar bush and steering rack mounts are usually next, letting the front end feel loose through corners, while at the rear the leaf-spring and shackle bushes, radius arm mounts and differential mounts all soften with age and let the axle move around under power.

Our polyurethane suspension bushes for the Triumph 1500 and 1500 TC restore the tight, connected feel these saloons had when new, and they shrug off the oil and road salt that rot rubber far better. They are an ideal upgrade during a front-end or rear-axle overhaul.
