Default LCA install question

I finally decided to get lower control arms for my car. (Running out of stuff to do to it.)
I got the BMR tubular poly/rubber.
Does the rubber bushings go towards the front?

Thanks. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

No instructions?

Grease fittings point down.

Good luck with the install, my tubular poly/polys were a bitch.

I also have the BMR poly/rubbers... I put the rubber on the front (body side). I thought they were quite easy to install.

I also did not recieve instructions. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Actually mine going back in weren't bad, the main problem was getting the old ones off. I have a 98 with 40k miles so some of those bolts were really stuck in there.

You can put them in the freezer, and that will make the bushings contract. Will be easier to slide them in then. That will work on ANY suspension bushing, ESPECIALLY poly ones <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">
