Front LCA bushing orientation?

Post by ZsZ »

I am replacing the LCA bushes as the old ones had some deformation and excess movement

Found out that the NOS Mapco branded new ones have asymmetrical protrusion of the inner sleeve. No signs of that on the old Febi ones.

Is there a good orientation, or just have them the same on both sides?

Mine were the same, I asked the same question. Recommend tof fit them the same way on both sides by BW.

Thanks guys!
Got the same info on FB. Some said if the shorter facing front that helps with alignment. So I did them that way.
