Strut rod washers.... correct way to use.
I'm taking a beating in that thread as well.
no one is trying to beat you up man. there has been an ongoing debate over this. with every factory car i have ever seen , the bushing has always been cupped. and that is the way i will always do it. like i say, i have done front ends that ,to this day, over 40,000 miles on them, the bushings look almost as new as the day they went on. no cracking or splitting. ultimately , its your choice , but for arguements sake, not one person has shown a factory built front end with the cup center facing in, where we have shown a number of pics and examples of cars with the bushing cupped. so dont sweat it, no big deal. maybe these aftermarket people are telling people to use their product that way, but even with my last PST bushings, they are cupped like the factory did it. and i will gaurantee, they will last a long long time that way.
