I'm putting the front suspension back together and I dont' remember which end of the mounts goes up. Is the side that's up here the side that contacts the underside of the car?
Thanks, Kevin Attached image(s)

Yeah, but he got them for less than half of a set of roller bearings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
But in all seriousness, I'm quite surprised that they didn't fit well I didn't mount them to my car, but I did testfit them on my a-arms and "holders" Actually they were a bit "loose" which is why I got a set of shims, so the fact that Timo had to hone them, tells me more about lousy production tolerances from Porsche on the a-arms/holders than on the bronze bushings. More so, because I have the same "slop" on my a-arms with Muellers rollerbearings. (the inner sleeves rotate freely over the a-arm) Maybe the mounting location at the front of the body was slightly off because of the oilcooler opening in the front trunk floor? No need to bash the bronze bushings. I'd say they're in a different league than Mike M's rollerbearings, both price and performance wise. cheers, Jeroen |
