    OK, it is pretty obvious which way a factory control arm mounts to the frame, it literally can only go one way and not hit stuff.

    I was fooling around with my new tubular control arms and decided it looked like they could be mounted on the opposite side. Sure enough, it will bolt on and I'm guessing provide some SERIOUS positive caster. :Brow: I doubt I will leave it this way but it got me to thinking and I compared the new control arm to both the old control arms, left and right, in case anyone is interested.

    First pic is of a the new arm on top of the old one. Pretty much can see the ball joint is moved back a good bit. The second pic shows it on top of the other, "wrong" control arm, for comparison.
