I got around to replacing my front shocks & torsion bars and want to confirm the orientation of the UCAs is correct. I could not confirm with FSM nor searching for .jpg in this forum. Previous work, not by me, was performed on the front suspension.

All pictures refer to the driver side with rear mounted calipers.

Wide side of the A arm bottoms out with your rubber bump stop - good there.

Thank you for the replies. Another question. This car currently has way too much negative camber. From what I am reading, to correct it, with the most caster, I “bottom out” or remove all adjustment on the nut on the front bumper side. And conversely wrench down on the rear nut to full adjustment or full threads showing. Then I back out the rear nut until I get the camber that I want. Does that sound, correct?

Do a search on here for offset control arm bushings, sounds like you are unfamiliar with adjusting the concentric cam upper bolts. The nuts are loosened, then the bolt is adjusted to set the measurement, then the nut tightened back down,.
