I've got the Rotary Performance diff bushings and I need to know which way they are to be pressed in. Is it with the lip of the bushing facing in or out? Thanks in advance, and yes I searched.

Field service manual shows clearly which way they go. Fsm available for download is item 5 or so at the 3rd gen menu

Chris, call me when you can. My TII diff/4.3/RP diff bushings have been installed for a few weeks now and the car feels fantastic

the RP ones don't have the crosses, they have a full circle that is built into the bushing. either way, they go out.

The bushings get pressed in from the outside in. Stop just at the lip bottoms out or you can crack it off.

Thats how i installed my set. It would have been nice if the bushings came with this little note.
