ive bought a Eibach ARB kit from our resident Zone supplier Sal, which looks brill....

my question is.... i was advised to buy some original Eccentric Bushes from BMW whilst i was fitting this......

but i cant see where these fit?... except the rear wishbone bushes... is this correct? if so the arrows on the bushes. should they face up or down


Sal... i'll ring you soon once this is done for the mapping

There is a mark (a cast dot) on the bush holder (lollipop) - the arrow should point at the dot.
