my PST Strud rod Bushing Fell off the car! *PICS*
Just put it together with the cups facing the bushing and you'll never have that happen again.
Think about this.
Most people stiffen the front suspension which causes it to have less travel anyway, so the travel of the strut rods is even more minimal than stock.
With the cup facing out on the front side every time you get on the brakes it tries to spread that bushing.
(not to mention causing other bushings to be stressed because of that moving)
Of all the oppinions and different books saying different things, I prefer that it NOT try to spread the bushing when loaded.
BTW, I have PST red poly 3 peice bushings (with metal sleeve) with the cup facing the bushing halves on both sides and never a problem one with them.
