I cant find a picture or reference on it anywhere. They are in the rear now, I'll change them if it turns out to be wrong.

Question about lower ball joint mounting bolts?
The 2 diagonal mounting bolts for the lower ball joints. One has a regular head, the other has a "different" style head. Which one goes where? I must admit I didnt notice on dissassembly. One goes towards the front, the other obviously to the rear. Which is which?
Thanks, I'm ready to put them back together, so an answer would be much appreciated!!

Last 'stock' pix I seen showed just rivit heads....nothing I saw with any protrusion to either side....
there IS a snub/rub block on the spindle to rub there.....but when considered with the backside of the lower A arm, and the obvious snub block on the spindles....it's not important....

My bad, so much for my memory. I just checked both of my cars and the fat head is facing forward (assuming the directions provided with parts were correct). Originals were riveted on.
