John,
The bushings are poly. I took the suspension apart for powder coating, and I'm not sure how the fronts were, the rears had the thick shoulder out.
But the front control arms perfectly fit the ears with one thick side out and one thin side out. This gives me a chance to add about one degeee of caster, so it seems like a good thing. Maybe someone modified something at some point? It was originally a European car if that matters???

Ken,
The thick shoulders go to the outside, unless you have purchased offset bushings.
Do you remember how the old bushings were installed ?
Were your old bushings steel or poly ?
