Default Steel control arm bushing

I have new steel arms and new bushings. Here's the front bushing.



Notice the ridge in the one end and the dimples on the other.

Which goes toward the front of the car?

I just checked my car in the garage and it looks like the dimples are in the front. Thanks Joe. Just want to make sure before I press that thing in there. It doesn't look they come out that easy once they are in.

Having the same exact problem right now. I have Meyle bushings, nothing from China. I set the dimples in front like the old arm, but the steel core sunk back (not like my old arms, where the core was up front). Can I correct for this?

I have no problem paying for new bushings, but this annoys me.
