For 1999 323is. I assume the offset goes at the 6ocklock position. I don't want to be wrong when I press them in. :confused:

Are these the upper control arm bushings that mount to the frame? If so, I'm thinking you should be able to press them in any way. Just try to put them in about the same position that the old ones came out so your alignment is close to what it was previously. They are eccentrics and are used to help with adjustments in your alignment... caster/camber. The bolt and the hole for it in the bushing will look like a "D" so that when you turn the bolt it turns the eccentric also and adjusts the position of the control arm. You will want to go get it aligned after you're done working on it or your tires will suffer down the road. If this isn't what you needed to know let me know and on monday when I go in to school I will look on alldata for you and see what it says.
