Where does the bushing go that has the shoulder, in the front where the nut is or from the rear thats inserted with the strut rod? Which way do the washers go on? Concave toward the bushings or away? Thanks DJ

Both outer washers (concave side) face control arm. Wide side of bushings face the frame. Tim '71 Charger 383/727 '17 Challenger SXT (Wifeys car )

Additionally I removed my brake struts last weekend, and surprisingly they are clearly stamped by mopar concave side faces away from control arm. This however makes no sense to me, unless a lot of progressive slop in this area is desired, but i can't imagine why, and then of course why do we bother with the Reilly hard pivot upgrades? I hope I've got this right, and it will be a few days before i can get camera on these above mentioned stamped washers. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
