These sit directly above the other beam bushes otherwise your beam rubs on the chassis.

As above,deffo rear beam bushes

But,I think they go between the plate that you bolt up to chassis and beam.

If you look at the shaped/cut out shape on the bush pictured above it matches the raised part of the plate that bolts upto beam

Heres mine:

Yes it is.

Have you just put the larger bush in on its own?

The long 19mm bolt won't pull the beam tight without the small bush in place.

Are you running the car with the bushes fitted like that?????

Hope you didn't leave the spring bushes in the trailing arms like on the pic!!!!!!!!!

Positive the way mine are fitted is right

Mainly cause of the shaped bit cut out where the plate sits

Does anyone know how these should be fitted as Deflex told me that the extra bush sits on the top of the beam mounted bush not below !!

Pretty sure mine are right

The bush is shaped the same as the plate that bolts the beam up,so looks obvious to me

Also there are raised round bumps on the top of the main beam bush,which IMO go up against the chassis

Look how the original bushes are fitted,the biggest part of the bush is at the bottom of the beam,so thats how the Deflex ones should be IMO
