Also i've noticed that bushing between shock cap and standoff is directed (more flat area on one side), but manual doesn't say anything about it. What direction is proper for installing: more flat area to tower or to locknut?
The shock bushing is designed to be a tight fit in the shock cap. It will move on the standoff however and be perfect if you simply back off the flanged nut 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
It doesn't matter what direction you put it in. Hope this helps.
