Hey guys ive just bought these for the rear wishbones bushes (ive bought the m3 ones as they are offset) and when I looked under the car there was no indication of which way round they should go. There is an arrow on the new bushes but not on the car. Can one help please! many thanks

Those bushes push into a ring with a tab on it that bolts to the chassis. There is a mark on the edge of the ring.

They are lollypop shaped.

Do a google image search that should help you.

Or in the zone wiki.

The M3 type bushes should be fitted so that the rear of the wishbone is moved outwards.This also moves the front of the wishbone forwards.

Do not forget to do a tracking check upon completing the job.
