huh, if anything it should be on the other side of the tower if you're
going for comfort, no?

but the other side is a conal shape so you can't put that on...

if you want comfort, just get the EnduraTechs.

also, that wrench is not a normal wrench. it's called a offset box wrench.

I don't see any advantage but why not get 4 more bushings from your Honda parts department and add one under and over on each side.

Looks like it's a vibration damper. You should look up sound deadening in the ICE threads.

if it's for sound dampening might be better just removing the strut,
masking off where the lower half of the strut mount would go,
spray the inside fender metal with sound deadening spray.

remove the masking tape, install your strut back on.

That does sound better so if the top idea works(easier) I'd follow up with your idea. Thanks
