the aluminum bushing goes on the front side of your spring. a press makes life easy when installing/removing those things. i've heard of people getting the job done without a press but i think it's stupid to even attempt the job without a press lol

I believe the one to the right is the front side. It has a larger diameter on one side.

I just installed a set of caltracs on my truck last month.
