Hi Jay,
Based off of Lippert's site, they say that a wet bolt like the Lippert Trailer Suspension Wet Bolt part # LC56RP should be installed with the grease exit hole pointing horizontally to either the 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock position (side-to-side). The grease exit hole being in this position will ensure that the grease can freely exit the channel and coat the bushings.
Are you replacing the wet bolts on your suspension or upgrading to wet bolts?
