I'm got all the subframe apart so I can replace the brake lines. I'm also replacing the bushes.

Which way should then be aligned? I'm referring to the way that they can be inserted at any angle, and have clear cut outs which I assume need aligning.

they only go 1 way, as the beam has 2 lumps in the holes for the bush to locate with it's grooves

Sorted.
I haven't got the old bushes out yet - left the blow torch at a friend's house so have to go and buy one of those now.

Is there a guide to fitting these subframe bushes and the others? :)
