FL Anyone with experience installing superpro eccentric upper control arm inner bushing

The rear upper control arm superpro inner bushing came with eccentric inner tubes. Does anyone have any experience installing this bushing. What position should the eccentric hole be during initial install to allow for easy alignment later on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
NJ

It is a biatch to do the eccentric inner tubes. What happened is I used the regular one instead. But if my memories served me right, the thinner wall of the inner tube should be facing upward. Not 100% sure, but if I were to guess. As long as the left and right are parallel to each other, you should have no problem aligning them afterwards.

Yup, they are a real pita. I put them in facing straight up or down as AzEKnightz suggested, unfortunately some of them needed to be adjusted when I had the car aligned. If I ever take the suspension apart again I will be making my own non-eccentric tubes. Best of luck!

thanks all for your input on the subject. I'll position the eccentric as recommended by AzEKnightz and bbade and hope that I don't run into a major issue during alignment.
