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.

Vauxhall Astra Mk5 H (2004–2011) Rear Axle Bushes | Polybush 47L

The Vauxhall Astra Mk5 H (2004–2011) earned a reputation for its well-balanced chassis and engaging handling, making it one of Britain’s most popular family hatchbacks. As these vehicles age, however, the rear axle bushes become one of the most common suspension wear items. The original rubber bushes gradually deteriorate, allowing excessive movement within the rear axle beam. This often results in knocking noises from the rear suspension, reduced stability through corners, vague handling and an unsettled feel over uneven road surfaces.

The Polybush 47L kit is a direct replacement for the original rear axle bushes, containing 2 premium polyurethane bushes (1.65kg). It replaces OEM part numbers 402952, 5402637, 13267215 and 13110418, along with Delphi TD1154W and Febi 30604, restoring the rear suspension with a durable, long-lasting solution.

Manufactured in the UK using Polybush’s unique polyurethane formulation, the 47L offers significantly greater longevity than conventional rubber. Resistant to oil, road grime, UV exposure and age-related cracking, it maintains precise rear axle location while preserving the ride comfort expected from an everyday road car. Unlike many polyurethane bushes, Polybush products are dry-fit, requiring no grease, eliminating squeaks and ongoing maintenance.

Whether you’re maintaining a dependable daily driver, restoring an SRi or VXR, or simply replacing worn suspension components, the Polybush 47L delivers improved rear-end stability, greater driver confidence and long-term reliability. Manufactured to ISO:9001 standards, it’s the ideal fit-and-forget suspension upgrade for your Astra H.
