Trailing arm bush alignment

[robgee1964]

Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't find the answer using the "search" feature.
I am replacing the rearmost trailing arm bush i.e. the one where the arm connects to the deDion tube elbow.
The replacement bush has two slots, and I wondered which way they are supposed to go?
The existing bush doesn't appear to have any slots at all, although its hard to be sure as its pretty chewed up now.
The car is a late 1972 2000 TC. I've got a 1960's workshop manual but that only covers removal of the arm, from what I can see

So if anyone knows the right way round for this bush, then I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

The slots are to be placed perpendicular to the direction in which the load is carried. So in other words, when the car is sitting on the ground, you want the solid sections to be aligned North-South, and the slotted sections to be East-West. Does that make sense?

Ron.

Thanks Ron, thats how I thought it probably would be.

Actually, I re-read that section of the factory manual a bit more carefully this morning and I noticed they do include a diagram which shows the same.
