There are four 2008 2009 Honda Element model trims, they are; The Honda
Element 2wd DX and EX, the new Honda Element 4wd DX and EX.
This year the new 03 and 2008 2009 Honda Progressive Valve shock absorbers
use a low pressure gas and heavy-duty, high density compression bushings
to absorb small vibrations control larger sharp movements for a more
comfortable ride.
To add to the new Element, Honda has a unique braking system. As
brake force is exerted on the rear wheel, it deflects the front of
the trailing arm inward and rearward. The reactive link flexes in
response to this force, but keeps the end of the trailing arm from
moving inward. This creates a twisting motion in the trailing arm
that causes the rear wheel to angle in. This toe in increases vehicle
stability under braking, vibration mounts for the engine help significantly
reduce engine idle vibration, a fluid filled engine mount is used
at the engine's axis mounting point.
Once you close the reinforced side cargo doors on the new 2008 2009 Honda
Element, vertical beams add to the reinforced frame. Leaving the new
Element with seriously tough passenger compartment and with features
such as dual-stage front airbags and 3-point seat belts this new Honda
proves to be safe and secure. 2008 2009 Honda Element is expected to attain
the highest rank for front and side impact protection in upcoming
crash tests.
