Does this sound right ????
I had to replace a set of MISSING control arm rubber splash shields.
Don't know if I did this right...I pushed the fasteners in from the engine compartment side. Does the flap cover the arm and top shock mount on the inside of the engine compartment, or should the flap be pulled thru to the brake side ???
Neither way looks right to me, but I have nothing to go by.
I can e-mail pix if that helps anyone.

This is a little hard to see but it is the best I could find. I borrowed the pic from the archives

It looks like the flap is folder under the bar that holds the control arm on.

YES! That's the way it should be. I'm amazed at how many I see that are not tucked under and just laying there.
