My Haynes manual is pretty confusing where it describes replacing the lower wishbone bushes. For a start it indicates special bushes that should be used if your car has radials. They are identified in a figure as having 3 slots in the flange end. I haven't been able to find reference to any different part numbers for these bushes. Should they be something different for radials?

The text of in the Haynes manual says that both bushes should be pressed in with the flange towards the rear. This doesn't seem to tie up with the figures which show the front one with the flange forward and the back with the flange backwards (which is how is appears to be on my car).

I haven't checked the green book yet but does anyone have experience with any special lower wishbone bushs for radials? Which way should the flanges face?
