    Greg, You want to get that upper ball joint as rearward as you can, that looks correct to me buddy :2thumbs: As long as the up positioning of your picture posted is the front of the car, then i say yes. :clapping:

    Is that not bassakwards?  :lol:  I agree the idea is to move the upper ball joint as far back as possible to get all the caster you can. Am I seeing this wrong?

     :iagree: with Rod. Front mount of the uca as far outward as possible, the rear mount as far inward as possible. That will rotate the upper bj as far rearward as possible. Your pic is good if that is the pass. side uca.
