Rear shock bushing orientation

[Dfunder90]

I purchased some new Land Rover brand rear shocks for my 110. https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/l...ogKZKscSZ6QGSQ0CykB9t5-HZrKwfHMhoCisEQAvD_BwE

My question regards bushing orientation. The shop I had put these on before has the bushing orientation different on each side and I am replacing the bushing myself because I want them the same on each side and the correct orientation.

What is the correct orientation for the bushing? In the picture on the link above is the bushing and washer orientation correct and the lower half should be a mirror image? This would have the orientation like in the picture attached? Thanks

The picture does not look correct. It should look like this when mounted..

Does your rear axle have steel cups that surround the bushings like this? Note that this pic shows early bushings/washers on a later type axle with cups. More on that below.

The correct setup for later axles with cups is:
Outer washers: RYF500230
Bushings: RNF100090L
No inner washers
Concave side of washers faces outward
Concave side of bushings faces inward
Shock failure may occur if washers are installed backward due to possible binding against the cup. The pic above demonstrates this incorrect setup.

The correct setup for earlier axles without cups is:
Outer washers: RYF500240
Bushings: 552818
Inner washers: NRC6235
Concave side of washers faces inward
Bushings are symetrical

In your situation, the bushing/washers are for a later axle with bushing cups and their orientation appears correct. However, I'm guessing you have an axle without cups, which would be a mismatched configuration.

Thanks for the quick replies. This is on a 1996 110 so I will have the earlier axle without the cups. Looks like I need to order the parts for the earlier axles as listed above. Thank you for the help. I didn't think these looked correct as I had pictured above.

This appears to be for aftermarket shocks, possibly Bilstein. It would nearly be correct for an earlier type setup without cups, except for it's missing the inner washers NRC6235. The aftermarket setup shown would not need them as the bushings have an inner reduced radius that seats into the shock mount hole.
