Good question!

As far as I could work out some have them on top, some on the bottom.

Does it make a difference? Who knows?

Sorry for the vagueness, but it's one of those Tigerisms nobody fully understands!

it is my mates car and we were really struggling the other night with the wishbones and bushes,
couldnt figure out where the sharpest angle goes on the rear wishbones,if you follow the welds tiger put on,they end up oposit each other instead of in the same place.if that makes sence

All welds should go towards the rear of the car. There is another post on here showing what happens if you get it wrong!

I (and several others) have put the metal bushes at the top, and the yellow ones at the bottom. Others have done the opposite.

I broke two vices trying to get the metal bushes in. Best advice would be to remove any powdercoat from the tube they go in, then pop round to a local garage with a fly/hydraulic press. Cost me £5 to get all four done!

Hope this helps,

Tim

looking at my mates wishbones i think they may have sent him them wrong,
if you have the welds at the back on one side the other side looks wrong and the welds are not at the back
