Urethane IRS pivots
Simple question here I hope.
 I am mounting IRS arms (from a 944) and installed the Energy Suspension red urethane bushings for the IRS pivots. Now how do the washers work in this setup? I assume one on each side, but again unsure. Thanks,

Be sure and post when you figure it out. I've been eyeballin' my bushings and wondering also. Someday, hopefully soon, I will have arms to put them in.
What are you doing for lube against squeaks?

I am just using the lube that came with them... If they squeek then so be it... Just put on straight cut cam gears and a stinger
LOL

I was told by my local VW shop that the two washers go on the outside of the bushing.

I have heard that as well... So again I am stumped! Amazing how simple this question is and I do not really have a clue! Honestly I am beating myself over the head on it... I feel like a novice rub

I checked my well worn VW beetle manual. It shows one washer on each side of the bushing. I would assume that it would be the same for the porsche suspension. Hope this helps...

why dont you buy a used Porsche 944 manual and see what it say: you should be able to find one on ebay for $5-$30 and have it at your door step in a couple days....at least it would solve the problem
hope this helps

The answer is... Both!
The Haynes specifies 2 washers on the outside per stock VW IRS. The Bus Boys instructions state that one washer per side is required for thier special mounts. Which is the way I will go on this. Do not quote me on this... But I hope to have some control arms in today Thanks,

my suspension had been pulled off by the PO, but it had both washers inboard. looks like i am putting them back in with one on each side.

Me too Zen. Haynes or not, this is the way that makes sense.
