Dumn question. Rear beam bushes?

Post by healeyneil »

Hi all. Ive bought my polyurethane bushes to go in the original casings. My problem is, which side is which. The steel casing measures approx 25mm to the mounting bracket on one side,39mm on the other. You could flip it over to fit either side I believe. W/shop manuals dont make it clear !
Hope I am making myself understood. Thanks, Neil

The mounts go on with the greater side up toward the floorpan, like this pic:

Tried to snap a pic of mine but it was too hard so googled it :D

Fitting the new bushes was easy. I didnt even have to burn out the old rubbers. Another job ticked off :)
