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.

I figured that the extra bush acts a bit like the old alloy supports you could buy to try and calm down the beams antics of bouncing all over the place under hard acceleration...so I fitted them in the same way.

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
