Once installed, the travel limiters with face slightly outward from straight-ahead position.

CAUTION:

It is very important that bushing be installed in same position as original to maintain vehicle ride quality and bushing longevity. That is why bushing, once installed, needs to closely match reference marks applied upon removal of original bushing.
