Rear trailer arm bushes

Hey guys,

Was assembling the rear suspension over the weekend, and got stuck when installing the 4 trailer arm bushes.. I bought them from the local Bmw dealer, so should fit fine however the bushes are wider in diameter on one side than the other; does anyone know whether they're designed to fit in a specific position ie wider on the inner or outer side of the bore.

Many thanks

Vic

On my car it was originally that the wider part of the rubber bushes was at the outsides of the trailer arms.

So this is also how i replaced them

Perhaps you got the eccentric ones? Nice if you know exaclty what you're correcting but otherwise I'd get a set of concentric examples.
