I'm putting the front suspension back together and I dont' remember which end of the mounts goes up. Is the side that's up here the side that contacts the underside of the car?
Thanks, Kevin Attached image(s)

I just bolted up the a-arms this evening with the needle bearings installed. Much to my surprise I didn't have to fiddle with the position of the front mounts at all. I haven't tried to move the a-arm through the entire range of suspension travel yet (I'm letting the RTV hold the a-arms up in a convienent position for assembly), but, just moving the arms a small amount I'm not feeling any binding whatsoever. Once I'm ready to put the rest of the bits in I'll check the smoothness through full travel and let you know how it is.
Question Do I need to preload the suspension by pulling the a-arms towards the rear of the car or do I just let the first drive/brake application do that job? Have fun, Kevin |
