01 1.8 Rear subframe - rotation of bushings - Little Mikey
Any help is greatly appreciated here please.
I'm replacing the bushings on the rear subframe (4 door saloon) and I removed the old ones without noting thier exact positions. There are two different types, one pair go on one end of the frame, the other pair on the other side. One type have a roughly egg shaped end while the other type have a half circle - half square shaped end. I know thier locations on the frame but must they be rotated a certain way (since the ends are shaped for some reason)? Can someone please advise me and if they must be rotated a certain way please provide details / image / link.
Many thanks.
