Default 02 TA Koni Single Adjustable Shock install Bushin Question

Question what is the correct bushing configuration when installing new konis? Took my shocks out and didn't look and now i'm curious I think it is one bushing under the rear perch and one on top with the car sheet metal in between.

ok cool I have this nasty squeak and Im thinking its the bushings. When installing the shock how tight do you make the top of the shock? Is the bushing compressed?

What I did with mine was remove the top bushing on each side and put some synthetic grease around the shock shaft right where it comes through the sheet metal. Re-install the top bushing and tighten it down until it just starts to bulge;then wipe up any excess grease.
