original style strut bushings

[ir3333]

i have these and may as well use them.
probably a dumb question but is 'A' in the picture the front?
..and torque to 40 ft.lbs. at ride height?

 

[TrailBeast]

Rear is A
My car had those from the factory, but I went 2 peice poly.

 

[ir3333]

well i had a 50% chance of getting it right and guessed wrong.
..glad i asked...tx
now i'm wondering which way the concave washers go?

 

[krazykuda]

Yes. I think that B is the front.

I think with original style bushing the washer cups over it-- if using the 2 piece it goes on with the cup side out.
all cars I have parted/jacked with had the cup side toward the bushing.

Yes, this is the way most do it but I saw where a lot of people that had the 2 peice poly bushing split from the cup being out.
I put it back with the cup toward the poly bushing to keep it from doing that.
Never seen any disadvantage of it being faced in.

Do yourself and favor and don't install them, when they rip out, which they will, They are too much of a PITA to take them out and install the good ones. :banghead:
