Something is bothering me about my rear suspension. My rear suspension (tein HE) where the bolt bolts on to has a bushing like thing. IT is only on one side of the suspension. ( The bottom of the shock) I was wondering if that bushing is suppose to be pointing towards the tire or pointing away from the tire?
If any one knows please let me know and explain why its that way.
Thanks
Eddie

You are going to feel like an idiot when you find out it will only fit on one way cause the rod it slips on the knukle is tapered.

The installation instructions or Tein's US website would have told you to point the larger portion of the bushing outward, towards the wheel.
