Rear shock top mount bushes
Okay------ I am now confused,the rubber bushings that mount on the top of the rear shocks,do they fit on with the convex sides facing each other or with the flat sides facing each other.My new Bilsteins came with the new ones mounted and each was different. I think the convex pointy sides face each other----right?

Recently did the same operation. My Bilstein came with the rubbers mounted with the broader sides toward each other and thats how I installed them. Correct ? No idea, but it seems to work just fine.
Wonder if it matters...

EDIT: I changed my answer after I thought about it. The fat parts go against the body, which would mean they face each other.

There you go,
Two different answers out of two possible. Who will have the third vote ?

FWIW, I did as they came from Bilstein and had the fat ends together.
