Question:
Hello, I have an 08 Honda element ex 4WD with an oem Trailer hitch that came with no hardware. Its rated as a class 1 and was wondering what hardware kit would be most compatible? the hitch will only be used to hold a yakima bike rack. Thank you in advance

Eddy, it looks like Draw-Tite made the OEM hitch for the 2008 Honda Element. If that's the case, then you could use # RHK and enter the hitch's item number in the box, which would be 75659 (# 75659) which has all of the hardware for your hitch that you'd need.
If that's not the case, then you'd have to reach out to Honda for replacement hardware.
