Default trailing arm bushing?

Would the installation of a trailing arm bushing be the same if the car was lowered or at stock height? Im just curious because I figured if the car is lowered than the angle of the tabs on the bushing would be different and I dont wanna f up a new set of bushings

You need to "clock" the new TA bushing to match your ride height. Do this by making marks on the trailing arm that line up with the mounting tab while the car is sitting on the ground at its current ride height. Then remove the old bushing and install the new one so that mounting tab lines up with those marks.

As patric said, you have to make this mark while everything is still attached and the car is on level ground. Then install the new bushing to line up with this mark...
