Upper Control Arm help

[Wayne P.]

I took the bushings out of my upper control arms and got them painted.
They removed my tags . Not sure how to tell what is the driver side vs
passenger side. I apologize if this is a novice question. Thanks in advance Merry Christmas

When you get them reassembled, it will be very obvious when you set them on the studs which one is right and which is wrong, as I remember the front has a more curved edge. Most of the things on our cars will only go on one way.

Wayne -

Photo below shows the installation - angle and curvature on the front side is more pronounced.

Wish I had the temperament to restore my 55 when I did like your's and others do. But the up keep !! And I drove my 55 right after I did restore it, we took a cross country drive 10,000 miles and still driving it today. I remember the judges hating to slid under it .

Wayne,
Just a note for when you get to the lower a arms. The sway bar mounts go toward the front as well as the two bolt holes on the shaft. You do not want to assemble the shafts on backwards. That would screw up your day.
