    Upper control arm doesn’t jive

    With the grease fittings on the top the ballpoint mount is upside down according to the picture in the manual and the video.

    These arms are used in other applications besides the FFR and are shipped in this configuration by the supplier (SPC). It is up to the end user to disassemble and reassemble them into the proper configuration which may or not be as they are shipped. You'll need to take them apart and flip the ball joint plate as shown in the photo in the manual.

    There is not a left or right.

    Thanks Jeff,

    I wanted to make sure that something didn’t change since the directions were made.

    Your the man.
