these bushings both have numbers on them do they matter where they are orientated towards when you press them in? because the ones on the Siberian and the oem bushings are in different spots? the bushing feels similarly weighted to the oem one with the gaps.. fyi the poly bushing is filled evenly its just the angle of the camera.  all the other bushings I installed were straight forward and involved no guessing.

Unless they are offset bushings for caster, you're fine. The "numbers" will never match from aftermarket to OE on any brand or type.

thanks.. I checked and its just the part numbers on it but the bushing feels heavier in certain parts?  maybe its just not perfectly round? the metal inner bushing isn't offset at all fyi.  I am just going to send it and get something accomplished today  thanks again 

 

edit 

I assumed those numbers showing were for degrees or caster or something? the hyundai/Kia part numbers etc are on the opposite side of the oem bushings

other than the part number the rest is just jibberish that might mean something to the plant that made them.
