The manual says to install the radius end of the drive bushings toward the center of the wheel.

Of course i didnt notice that when removing them.
would that be the curved end/sides of the bushing ?
Also , it looks like the replacement fasteners have a lock-tite thread coating. the manual doesnt say to apply any.

The description is correct - the radius end of the bushing SHOULD face the center of the wheel - this puts the radius end of the bushing into the "pocket" in the rotor. (trying to find detailed pic on the net but am failing with too little coffee this morning and am too lazy to go out and take a pic of the shop manual)

The bolts have a dot of some sorta plastic locking stuff. Do NOT add LocTite!

Found a pic that clearly shows what you're talking about:

Here's a good shot of the bushing itself. Placing the wheel relative to the orientation of the bushing in the picture, the center of the wheel would be to the left of the bushing. I hope that's clear...

HTH,

The best part of that installation is the brake should no longer pulsate.
