I just got a pair of solid centered control arm bushings. They are no completely solid, there are two small opposite "holes" in the rubber. Should this holes be in the upper and lower positions once installed or should they be in the left and right position?? Have not been able to find installation instructions for this bushings..

Thanks

The bracket has a mark. Just line up with the dot found in the rubber and you're good to go.

You really need a press. Slip a pipe over the press-crank to get more leverage and you should have no trouble pressing. It's also wise to lubricate the inside of the bracket with WD40 first.

Press-crank? do they make special one that fit a bimmer?
