OEM Trailing Arm Bushing Orientation (1991 240 sedan) 200

I bought new rubber trailing arm bushings from the local Volvo dealer, and plan on constructing the tool that Art Benstein used to extract and install them.

My question is, both of the new bushings center sleeve is slightly off-center from the outer sleeve. They are constructed identically with two small pockets in each outer face, and more rubber (no pockets) away from the side that the center sleeve is biased to.

My Haynes manual says nothing regarding this; I would think that they need to be installed with the center sleeves orientated towards the bottom (more rubber towards the rear end, less towards the trailing arm. Or, is it possibly a fore / aft orientation?

Any ideas please?

Thanks everyone,

Dave Milo
