<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">From the parts list and in my experience, the wider, flatter side of the bush is on the engine side. Once the steering column is through the bush, the big flat washer goes on first (WP14) followed by the thin springy washer (UKC5508).
In summary, the flat side of the bush is on the engine bay side. If your bush has a flat side inside the car, it is probably fitted incorrectly.
