I have a set.

Honestly, don't know that I noticed a difference. But it was $20, and I've wasted $20 on worse.

Thanks for chiming in. The good thing is you bullet proofed the mechanism if and when the rubber bushing eventually and inevitably fails.

I went out and snapped a pic...I installed them with a small c-clamp.

There are others online that talk about going to a hardware store and getting rubber tubing to do the same thing for about $1 instead of $20. I guess I'm spoiled (blessed, more accurately), that my time was worth the $20 to not fiddle-fart with other solutions.

Same thing I did, then installed a band clamp afterwards for a little extra insurance

I like that method vs. hammering them in. Thanks
