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

Volvo XC60 suspension questions nearly always arrive at the same component, and the search data backs it up: owners of the 156, built from 2009 to 2017, are looking for the rear trailing arm bush far more than anything else. There is a good reason. This is the heaviest car on its platform, and the trailing arm bush is what stops two tonnes of SUV shifting fore and aft every time the brakes go on.

It is listed in two forms, standard and with additional holes for the exhaust mount, so look at the arm fitted to your car before ordering. The failure is gradual: first a dull knock from the rear over speed bumps, then a rear end that feels like it arrives a moment after the front, then inner edge wear on the rear tyres that survives an alignment. Alongside it, the rear drop link bush, the 22mm front anti roll bar bush, the 18mm bar bush and the toe arm and upper arm bush all play a part, with the front wishbone taking braking load.
