CAB noobie question

[LateFan]

I'm installing new OEM Lemforder control arm bushings. The new ones each have 2 blue paint dots on one side.

The bushings appear to be symmetrical side to side, and there are alignment arrows on both sides.

Does it matter which way they go into the lollipops?

The alignment arrow or mark need to point to the arm of the lollipop.

[LateFan]

Right. So front-back doesn't matter? They appear completely symmetrical, but someone has put two careful blue paint pen dots on one side of each bushing.

I've not ever seen one with the paint marks. AFAIK it doesn't matter which side faces the control arm.

Thank you.
