Default easy LCA installation question

Picked em up used REALLY cheap so I don't have instructions, does the greasable end go to the front or the rear. Thanks

They should have grease fittings on both ends.
Unless of course that's why there were so cheap.

I've seen plenty around that aren't greasable at all. I don't mind them not being greasable on both ends, I didn't really want any LCAs at all at the moment, just couldn't pass up the chance to see how I would like the poly bushings for this cheap

the front, the part that attaches to the body is the critical point in keeping noise out of the inside of the car. So if its poly/rod... poly goes body side.. poly/rubber, rubber goes body side.. if its poly/poly and is only half greasable, I would put the greased end in the body.

Thanks guys, they are poly/poly. I put the grease fittings on the body side rather than the rear end. Noise in the cabin is already rediculous, I just finished putting in lightweight Ozite carpet without insulation
