Front upper passenger control arm mount question

[AndyG]

I have a new UCF brand mount , as long as the bushing is in the mount correctly, does it matter if the flared end of the bushing faces the wheel or differential?

For instance would the stress it's under make it tend to push out of the mount if the mount is orientated wrong ?

I can't see any reason the mount has to go on one direction or the other by looking at it ... And by using a micrometer I can tell the bushing is signed only go in one side of the mount first.

Thanks,
Your TJ Pal,
AndyG

I checked the UCF website to see what the mounts look like.
The only mounts I found were for the rear uppers, but not for the front uppers.
The mount could be designed that way for access and ease of bushing replacement.

Yes, I'm just wondering if there is any significance.

shouldn't be square on the tube it cocks off just a bit, no?
can you set it and eyeball it back to the frame mount, or is the cut uniform enough for both ways?

as long as you push the bushing the right way. i don't think it cares which direction it faces.

Yes, I follow you on the angle and that the stress would be equal if it's set balanced.
