Did I install my fuel filter correctly and control arm bushing question.

Excuse my n00biness again. So I replaced my filter today and I just want to confirm if I connected the lines in the corresponding order:

The arrow with a circle is where the arrow on the filter goes.

As for the control arm bushing, I cannot figure out where these go if my life depended on it:

Fuel filter: the arrow denotes the direction of flow.

bushing: Those go in your front control arms.

I jacked up my front so many times, but I still can't identify where those bushings go...

Pics would help.

If I didn't install the filter correctly, how would my car run?

The front control arm bolts to the crossmember. The other end is at the bottom of the shock. If you look at the area where it attaches to the crossmember, well that is where the bushings will go.

Fix your fuel filter. Not sure what effects it would have with it on backwards, but there must be a reason for the flow direction...

I think I isntalled the filter the correct way. Do you know which way those lines flow?

fuel flows from fuel tank to motor. The arrow should point towards the line that goes to the motor.

Dunno about the bushing. I'd have to look at the FSM.
