    Front lower control arm bushing question.

    I'm replacing mine. Does the orientation of the bushing in the wishbone bracket (lolly pop) matter? There's a small triangle near the outer perimeter of the bushing. Should they be pointing in a certain way? If so, which way?

    Yes. There should be an arrow in the rubber and that arrow has to point to the raised pin on the lolly pop when the bushing is installed. The small triangle is just lemforder's logo and is not relevant towards the orientation of the bushing.
