    Upper Control Arms Assembled Properly?

    Hi All,

    I'm starting on the upper control arms and noticed that they both appear to be identical. i.e. with the grease fittings pointing up, if you lay one on top of the other they are identical.

    I'm thinking they should be mirror images of each other?

    Thanks
    Glenn

    Gotta take one apart and flip the arms around.

    Thanks for the confirmation.

    When you mounted them, did you install as per the manual with the grease fittings pointing up, or downwards as some have done including Wayne Presley?

    Mine are per book. Pretty sure flipping them upside down had something to do with early production...oversights. Here is the thread where I got that idea.
