Exclamation Urgent trailing are help needed

I'm in the middle of installing RE trailing arms and the end has two different sized spacers connecting the bushing to the frame. Does the larger spacer go towards or away from the body of the car?

I know it's a stupid question , but the bar fits both ways and I bought them used with no instructions... also the stock bar looks symmetric.


p.s.... just saw I misspelled "arm" in the title, mods can you please fix that?

Cool, thanks. If it doesn't matter, why isn't it symmetrical?

I think historically to try and provide a couple of millimeters of extra clearance for those running extra wide tires under stock fenders.
