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
The Opel Vivaro A Mk1 (X83) remains a core vehicle across European trades, delivery fleets and passenger transport. However, age-related suspension bush and subframe bush failure is now common on vehicles of this generation.
Worn rubber bushes can cause:
Suspension knocking and vibration
Vague or unstable steering
Excessive body roll under load
Reduced braking stability
Subframe movement affecting alignment and tyre wear
These issues impact safety, driver confidence and operating costs.
A key failure point on the Vivaro A is the front subframe mounting bushes. As the original rubber deteriorates, the subframe can shift under braking or acceleration, leading to inconsistent steering feel and instability.
Polybush Part 47E is a precision-engineered polyurethane replacement designed specifically to eliminate subframe movement and restore correct suspension geometry.
Unlike rubber, Polybush polyurethane resists:
Oil contamination
Road salt and corrosion
Temperature extremes
Repeated load stress
Typical service life is 4–5 times longer than OEM rubber, reducing downtime and maintenance costs — ideal for fleet operators.
Polybush offers a full range of Vivaro A bushes, including:
Front lower arm bushes
Rear trailing arm bushes
Anti-roll bar bushes
Subframe bushes (47E)
Upgrading delivers:
Tighter steering response
Reduced body roll when loaded
Improved braking stability
Lower cabin vibration
All components fit original mounting points with no geometry modification required, allowing efficient installation during routine maintenance.
Whether maintaining a single van or managing a fleet, Polybush polyurethane suspension bushes provide proven durability, improved control and long-term cost savings for the Opel Vivaro A platform.
