Just wanted to add to this so somebody else doesn't go through what I did (put the upper control arms on the wrong sides) just so you know, the rubber
"Snubber" (bumper goes towards the rear of the control arm, not the front, if you do this, there is no way to adjust the caster. the lower control arms are a
"No Brainer" as the lower shock bracket is on the rear side of the control arm and it would be obvious that it wouldn't work.
Have a good one!!!
Ben

here is a few pictures showing the correct assembly, thanks DavePL and Everettelane

the last one shows how my wheel wasn't centered in the fender
