Paul:

As you can imagine, there is a story behind my response.

My friend brought his center tie rod to the hangar where I worked to install
the silentblocs. He had previously removed the old silentblocs and didn't
remember which way they came out. I looked at the tie rod and noticed a small
hole drilled into the rod center. I assumed that this hole was a drain hole
and would go on the bottom. We pressed the silentblocs in such a way as to put
the "drainhole" on the bottom.

Of course, we put the silentblocs in upside-down.

So, in this tie rod anyway, the drainhole goes up.

You were quite right to not put stock in my answer.
