2wd deflex rear beam bush fitting?
hello all, i got a set of the deflex bushes, now i have fitted the rear beam ones already to the beam, but you also get a bit round, flat one.
i think i have seen before that this is also for the beam...
soooooooo
where the fook does it go lol?
im guesig that the knobbly bits on the topof the beam bush go against the car, and that the big flat one goes at the bottom, with the cutout bit sitting on the little plate bit that bolts the beam to the car as that has a slightly raised section???
anyone got any pics??

it chnges the angle of the rear beam, without it the beam doesnt sit like it did with the standard bushes.....i measured it up 
the bloke from deflex said, if you fit it without the spacer, there will be a gap between the bush and the body... thats where it goes. only some need it, so offer it up, if there is a gap use it. if no gap dont use it.

~Its an addition and it does go at the top, Its came from an old Group N trick were they would put a steel plate above that main bush to reduce movement as they are only allow a stock bush, Once fitted it still look stock.

I,m leaving mine on the bottom
Had full alignment check and all is ok,no vibrations on road etc
My m8 fitted his on the top,didn't look right,the gap between beam and chassis was massive.
Also look how much of the standard bush sticks out of the top of the beam,also look how much of a Powerflex beam mount sticks out of the top,both the same as the Deflex with the spacer fitted at the bottom
What are the bobbles on the top of the beam mount for if they sit against this spacer????
The bobbles on standard bush sit against chassis

I reckon they go on bottom,the bush/spacer you are talikin about has a cut out on the one side of it,this sits perfectly on the raised part of the bottom plate that bolts upto beam
Ask Stu how my car drove when he live mapped it,he commented on how nice it was on the road

The cut out fits perfectly onto the bottom plate that bolts upto beam,and the bobbles on the main beam bush sit against chassis,the same as the standard bushes do

in this picture, look at the gap between the beam and the body (A and B) above the mounting. the gap is not equal either side, this is because the beam is mounted to tight to the body ,it needs the spacer to make it straight.
in my opinion this means the wear and forces will be put onto the A side of the bush , point B may not even be touching the body!
If the spacer was above ,as mine is, the beam sits straight.
sorry for the shonkey photoshop work! its late and been a long day!

Thats just the way pic is angled
Is the same gap,and beam is straight m8
Will take a level pic if I remember next time I go to farm to work on car
Find a pic of a standard beam bush fitted to beam,the amount sticking out of the top of the beam is the same as the Deflex without the spacer on the top,but the underside of the deflex is smaller than standard bush,so the spacer goes on the bottom
