Fixed Clunking in Rear
I had a clunking noise in the rear of my 2006 Honda Element when going over bumps. Taking off the rear wheels, there was no obvious suspension problems; all bushings, including the sway bar bushings and end links looked in good shape. However based on online posts, these were what were reported as the most likely cause. So I took the $9 gamble to replace these. I was able to do the whole job in 20 minutes using penetrating oil, a breaker bar, and a 12mm socket wrench.The old bushings were hard as rocks and I could tell once they were out of the car that they'd been compressed (base was not as tall). However there was no way to tell this while they were installed.With the new bushings in, the clunk was gone! Not only this, but the car just driving is a little bit quieter (less vibration coming into cabin I suspect). Finally it corners better! It feels a little sharper and less 'boaty' than before.If you have a clunking in the rear and there's no other obvious culprit, it's worth the $9 to see if this is the cause, especially in Honda Elements, which frequently have this issue.

Great product, like OEM.
I was starting to have clunking and clanking sounds from the back of my element after 200+ thousand miles. I determined the sway bar links were the culprit but for the price, also replaced the sway bar bushings. Now everything is quiet again. Actual job to replace was easy and only a 14mm wrench and some WD-40 are needed. No need to jack up the car. Remember to only use silicone to lube the bushings as grease can prematurely eat away at the rubber. So far very happy with my purchase.

Failed in just 5 months...
Swapped these out in my 2003 Honda Element and after almost 4 months I started to hear the familiar thud, clunking that all of us Element owners recognize...took a look underneath, and both bushings were already worn down...yep. I purchased them reading reviews but I guess I should have looked for reviews from someone who had them on for a while...so wanted these to work. Oh well, I guess I need to purchase the Honda OEM bushings...I know, I know...

Snapped the bolts. Do this job anyway!
The company delivered these two bushings on time and at a great value. To no fault of the company, the installation was a bit of a problem. Driver side bolts came off with no problem. Had that side fixed in less than 10 minutes. BOTH passenger side bolts snapped clean. Took me a bit to work a solution, but was able to install the second bushing. The ride now is SO much quieter. Worth the extra work that it took.

Cured The Loud Clunking Noise in 05 Honda Element
I'm very happy with these bushings ! Completely cured my clunking noises coming for the rear of our 2005 Honda Element. In my case, they were a little challenging to install because of the rusted bolts holing them in. A little heat on the welded nuts allowed me to install these without breaking the bolts. No doubt the repair would be much quicker if you don't live in the rust belt. The price on these was good. I will buy these again if the clunking comes back in the next 180,000 miles.

Easy install removed noise in Honda Element
Easy install in 2004 Element. Dont need to jack up the car, 2 12mm bolts per side, slit in rubber allows you to install without fully removing sway bar. I used silicone grease inside and around the bushings. Took 10 mins and removed the clunking sound.

Worked well on my 2003 Element
Worked well on my 2003 Element. Only problem was I had a rusted bolt that broke. Took only a few minutes to change out, but broken rusted bolt took much longer. But it did get rid of that occasional clunking noise from the back of my vehicle.
