Lower Control Arm Shaft
Which way does the lower control arm shaft mount to the frame? I have the shaft installed correctly on the A-Arm, but which way to flip it? One side has more of a long raised area, while the other side has a small protrusion near the 2 - 5/8" bolts towards the front. I checked AIM and it does not indicate. I thought this would be an obvious issue, but need some input - thanks

That is how I installed it. Thanks - and that makes sense.
So - just to be try to explain (without a picture), The side that has a raised area the entire length of the shaft goes down away from the frame. The side with a short raised area on the bolt ears (perpendicular to the shaft) goes up towards the frame. Clear as mud?
Thanks Chris!
Also just FYI, the torque specs are 65-75 on the 2 smaller bolts and 75-110 on the large bolt per AIM
