Does anyone know if genuine rear beam bushes are meant to be installed in a particular position?

Are there any markings to lne up etc. Maybe a question for a main dealer technician or someone with the access to such knowledge.

I've just had new rear bushes but the beam feels like it is wriggling around underneath the car. I did look for any markings when the old ones cam out & new bushes went in but I didnt see anything.

Ps; any advice on the matter greatly appreciated. :thumb:

they will be simply pushed in. as the bushing is round there will be no clever off centre positioning, it would be too difficult to get right....
I'd guess that maybe something got bent, or is loose after the bushes got pressed in, causing the funny feeling

No right way up on a nova, unlike vectra's (bloody gaaay things). Bolts are meant to be tightened with the car on it's wheels, other than that, can't think of owt fella!
