Bush comes in two parts, inner (purple) and outer (blck).
Remove the old bushes form the control and and fit the purple part to the control arm. There is a groove on the bush which fits onto the control arm edge, it will ony fit on a certain way. ignore what the bush says ion it if its for left or right.
Then.....remove old bush from bracket.
Fit inner bush to bracket - this is the most important part - you muct get it the right way round so that when the bracket is fitted bvack onto the car the hole is facing towards the wheel and the cut out is facing towards the front of the car.
Then place the outer bush over the purple bush and bolt everything up.
If your still not 100% sure get someone who knows who to fit it otherwise you might fnid yourself buying a new set if you press the black bush into the bracket the wrong way round.
