Initial feeling was, huge improvement, compared to original rubber bushings, 150K miles. One year later no regrets, NVH reduction, no abnormal noises. Motor and trans mounts were replaced with OEM at the same time. | ||

I estimate I've put about 100-120k miles on them. Still happy with them. | ||

That would will (hopefully) be a measurable stretch longer than my stock front axle bushings lasted, but it's worth noting I should still keep my eye on them. | ||
