Front shocks - different size upper bushings
Got a new set of Delco front shocks for my 69 - there is a small and large rubber bushing for the top mount. Which one goes on top? Or does it not matter? The old ones were the same top & bottom

The larger diameter one goes on the bottom. The smaller one with the round centering ring goes on the top.

Hi,
I believe the 69 AIM indicates that the large washer is installed on top and the smaller washer is installed underneath between the shock absorber's body and the frame pocket.
