Poly bushes mounting for front shock absorbers

Dear readers,
I have bought a set of poly bushes for the front struts for my MGTF. Supposed to go in the top mounts.

The Poly bushes have the form of a piramide, and I have no idea in what position these should be mounted.
So I set up a small drawing with the 4 possible mounting options.

Anyone an idea which of the 4 I should use ? See the attached imaga.

Thanks Theo

There will be two bushes per shock absorber, they go either side of the big thick washers which are slightly cupped to keep everything centered. from the top you will have in the following order, nut, thick cupped washer, bush, suspension mounting hole on the vehicle, retainer (big disc with a spigot poking up to locate the shock absorber),bush, 8mm washer,thick cupped washer, then the spring retainer which is already assembled on the shock absorber/spring unit. This is held in place with a nut and bush.
Have a look at the diagram from Rimmers, here, https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID018912 you are looking at item 10 and 14 on the assembly diagram. Item 12, 11 and 7 on the diagram will be already assemble on your shock absorber, the lower polybush will push over item 11 on the diagram. Item 7 the lower retainer is the spring retainer mentioned on the list above. The shock absorbers are easily removed, the only problem is removing the top nut, which can be seized. Spray some penetrating oil on first, and they are best removed with a good quality 3/4 or 1/2 inch impact gun. If you do not have one available, then you may have to split the nut if they will not unscrew.
When I did mine, the allen key snapped off in the top of the shock absorber, so I ground them off. The last one near to the fuel line, I removed with an impact gun, which came of after about 4 minutes of forward and reverse screwing. Use new nuts when putting the shock absorbers back in.
Hope this helps...

Thanks, I had the same issue with the top nut, some freeze/penetration spray and an impact gun helps indeed.
I needed to get rid of the squeaking noise, in the end the cause appeared to be the lower shock absorber bearing: the metal cilinder mounted in a rubber bearing, at the bottom of the shock. This was stuck on one shock, looking at the other I could see that it should be able to move somewhat. So for the short term I made it loose again, but in the long term probably a pair of new shocks.
