Lower control arm #2 bushing?
Hey guys,
I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I am replacing the lower control arm bushings in my 94 GS300 and the bushings on the #2 control arm were completely shot, hence I am not certain how the replacements go in. Here are some pics of one of the control arms and the bushing. I need to be certain of the direction it goes in. Thick side up or down?

Got it done, the original bushing had a skirt on it so it could only be pressed in to a certain point. I installed the new one so that the fat part of the bushing hit the same side of the arm that the skirt hit. Installed and what a difference maker. I had read some reviews where people didn't like the feel of poly bushings but I like the firmness of the response and feedback when turning! I would highly recommend!

How much were those bushings? I like having a firm response when driving and been loving my stiff coil overs

Figs did a great blog about swapping bushings on my 1GS. Its a different brand but same idea. Also if anyone is looking for bushings I got a full set from Figs and they have a lifetime warranty if I remember right. My car is tight but not harsh.
