Installing Siberian Polyurethane Lower Arm Bushing - Honda Element

[@julian8229]

I just picked up a 04 crv and my bushings need to be replaced so this video is a big help thanks for it.

[@Element_lifestyle]

Glad it helps 🙏

[@jareddahlseid551]

This is one clean element! Thanks for the great video and I like the cat protection too as I had mine stolen 2 years ago.

So I just did all my rear bushings on my 05 CRV. I used OEM rubber bushings because I’ve seen other mechanics talk about how Siberian bushing fail after 40k miles - much faster than oem bushing failure.

[@longhairmullet]

Oh really? Humm always good to read the comments to learn of other’s experiences. Seems like these are a common fail on our Elements.

[@whiptips4374]

@@longhairmullet yeah but still: $80 for a bushing is a lot cheaper than $3-400 for a new trailing arm lol

[@CallMeAllan]

Nice job thanks for the explanations

What is the number of that press kit and how much torque that impact gun has?

[@mustangjoe8352]

Tried to change my lower control arms this past spring on my 2006 Element,what a disaster !

😱

So you are doing this on your way to your Element meet up? If that’s the case you can drive to NYC and work on my Element but bring a blow torch 😄

[@Element_lifestyle]

😅 I did it before leaving CA. I want it my E running smooth for the PNW meet up

[@Ronicon08]

Can you share the link for that bushing please? Thanks

[@bradleydavidgood]

how are they holding up?

[@clintsearcy3252]

Cool! I've been thinking about installing these.

[@Element_lifestyle]

🙏, so far so good after 3.5k miles of driving

I'm looking review like this, these smaller car like Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa the front control arm bushing always fail. Older cars from 80s have big square with hole bush can seperate from arm and never replaced.

[@ric21122]

Great video. Do you think 3M window weld would work good in this situation? So cleaning the bushing with brake cleaner and then completely filling it with 3M WW. Think it would hold up?

[@johnmartin1148]

Did you use what came with the Snap On BJP1 or did you buy the add on Honda compliance bushing cups?

[@Element_lifestyle]

Came with it

[@eduardoramirez9741]

Where you get that ball joint kit tool?

[@Element_lifestyle]

Snap on

[@GF-mf7ml]

Just use online shopping

[@carlosmontalvo1064]

So i was told by a rep that manufacturers these bushing upgrade that for my 2007 element these will not fit. Does anyone have a 2007 element with all their bushing replaced with urethane? I really siberian

[@redred5389]

How are the bushings holding up so far?

[@Element_lifestyle]

So far so good. Zero noise

[@colinshum5216]

How is it holding up after a year?

[@deeb5409]

Can you send link where to buy? Thanks

[@erikabella5359]

Hello Sir. May I know the brand or maker of the bushing tool kit that you used?

[@wolfgangselle3272]

I think u could read it @9:25 … it was stamped on the tool it’s a SnapOn tool

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Are those Siberian bushings grease able?

[@Element_lifestyle]

They are not.

[@billkirby3975]

We never hear if it made a difference in the ride?!!

[@Element_lifestyle]

I’ll be making a review video of it after 6 months of driving , so far I had drive 4k miles 👍

[@Element_lifestyle]

So far so good tho

[@brannanbenjamin]

Where did you get that bearing press kit? I couldn’t find one to rent anywhere - O’Reilly’s, Autozone, and NAPA didn’t have one. I ended up just buying new arms (non poly) because the ball joint press just wasn’t up to the job

[@Element_lifestyle]

The específico tool I use is hard to find and super expensive , you can always remove the arm and take it to a presser or machine shop where they install bearings and bushings

[@bonholio0o]

Go to your local HF store, ask for 63728. Doesn't come with a C clamp bar like his Snapon but it works great. And it costs a fraction of a Snapon. I've used the same way you would with a 20 ton H clamp except you don't need to remove everything off the vehicle. I've even used it on wheel bearing swap out with knuckle still attached to strut assembly. You do need to a good impact driver though like his or an air tool. Me I use Earthquake XT 1/2" electric, it's so beasty. They don't sell them no more so get a Hercules or Milwaukee M18.
