#1 rubber bumpers above hub??

Post by autoalain » Sat Dec 24, 2022 2:15 pm

Hi, just another silly question, I am installing the rubber bumpers and they appear to be in on an angle,
do they angle inwards or outwards above the hubs??? yes they fit in both ways, thanks Mike.

Factory install was angled OUT towards the tire/wheel. Many flip them around to provide more clearance for wider tires.

As evidenced in the picture above the tyre has been touching.
