Engineered to replace the original rear lower rearward differential mount on select Honda CR-V and Element models, the Dorman 905-539 restores proper alignment and support for the rear differential. This replacement differential mount is built to the original equipment form, fit and function and is intended for drivers who need a dependable, direct-fit part without modifying existing components. Designed for late-model Honda CR-V and Element applications, the Dorman 905-539 helps re-establish drivetrain stability and reduces the movement that can lead to vibration and uneven wear when an original mount ages or fails. Before purchasing, confirm vehicle fitment by entering your year, make, model and trim in the vehicle garage tool.

How does the Dorman 905-539 improve drivetrain stability?

Worn or damaged differential mounts allow the rear differential to shift under torque, which can create drivetrain lash and perceptible vibration. This replacement restores the intended mounting geometry so the differential remains located and supported during acceleration, deceleration and cornering.
