yes they are split and easy to install, I had to remove the lower control arm lower bolts to clear the rear studs, I used a 15 MM on the top nut and a 1/4 " drive 10 MM socket on a 6 inch extension to remove the top nut for the rear stud, I used the Energy Suspension bracket for the bushing but not the washers provided.

Hi guys was just reading this thread & instead of starting a new one thought I'd ask your advice. I have a clunking (rattle) in the front end of my HHR, could this be the same problem mentioned here ? Its a 08 with 40000 kms, could the bushings be worn out already ?

Best bet is to get the car up on a lift and check everything. Lower control arm bushings, strut bearings, wheel hub bearings,etc. Check everything.
Also check all the mounting hardware,nuts and bolts. Never know. It could be as simple as a loose nut or bolt.
If you can't find anything, then start looking for any loose body panels like inner fender wells, air dams, etc.
Rattles can be a pain to find. Clunking noises are usually easier to locate.
