After I replace my rear brake pad and attempting to reinstall everything , I am not sure what's direction the shock
[ offset ] should be facing left or right? Been looking on old post without success no clear view and diagrams online showing only a washer without any groove like my in the picture according to part # 013962
Last time a local shop did my brake and tire change, and it look like the space washer was crashed so much that I need to used a long braker bar to get it loose.
And now......not so sure how was fit or was remount backwards , my mistake was to not take pictures before.
Can anyone tell me or post a picture in what direction of both shock offset and washer should me mounted correctly.
Also....should I replace the washer?
Shock bushing from what I see, it look all pushed on one side is that normal 🤔?
Any help advice will be appreciated.

The washer looks fine. Torque to spec or you are likely to chew up the bushing.

Thank you for the picture & information..but what about the offset direction of the shock?
Is my need to be turn around like your
According to your pictures...my seem to be was turn in the wrong side, cause I have the flush side of the bushing to the outside, am I wrong?
The offset direction of the shock is what I am try to figure out .
Like in my first picture is showing pointing to the outside is that correct or wrong 🤔?
