Hello, does anyone know what the proper position is for the "diff front
support bushing" Part # 443 505 145 A

Took a while to track down the "thud" when shifting gears coming from
the rear... I've discovered that the bushinging that secures the rear
diff is shot and almost metal on metal... The bushing resides in the
bracket that supports the front of the diff, the bushing is not solid,
it is kinda H formed withing the metal circle. 

What I'd like to know is the correct position of the bushing in
releation to the support bracket that it sits in, currently the space is
on top and on bottom while the rubber support is on the sides of the
bushing. Is this correct or should the rubber part be above and below
with the space on the sides?

Reason I ask is that the bolt has broken through the space (dislodged
from the rubber) and is now hitting the support bracket, I was wondering
had the bushing been positioned the other way would it have prevented
this happening... so should I replace same way or the other way around.

Cheers, /Jamu.
