Steer Smarts Track Bar Bushing Sleeves

[bbcj]

I just purchased a used steer Smart truck bar. It appeared to be in good shape. Later when getting it ready to put on I noticed that the bushing sleeve sticks out further on one side than the other. It's like this on both ends. I have two questions.
1-is this normal
2-if this is normal which way does the offset go facing forwards or backwards?

It’s normal. I’ll take a picture of mine. Stand by. Picture is because I don’t remember.

First picture is axle end. Second is frame.

Thanks so much.

No problem. On the axle end I genuinely don’t think it matters to the bushing. I think I made the choice based on bracket positioning.

That's normal. Sometime they over shot the bushings when pressed in. Their youtube video show that they just be eyeballing it.

I'm a old guy having fun with a Jeop. My sincere thanks to both of you.

2020 Gladiator. Found it a local Jeep dealership. Bought it in July of 2024 with 2400 miles. Previous WJ owner. My son and my daughter each had one. Went to the new Cherokee when I was living in the city. Now on my first real Jeep. Thanks to everybody for the support.
