Default Need Help with Steering Knuckle Orientation

I am reassembling my front end and need help with the orientation of the steering knuckles. (I am assembling these from a basket of parts, so I didn't see the parts assembled). The knuckles can go on two different ways. Most of the other front end parts have an R or an L in the part number, but not the knuckles. Anybody have any photos? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Bob:

Yeah, that helps a lot - especially since I guessed wrong! So basically, the part of the knuckle that the tie rod attaches to is offset toward the ground, rather than up toward the body.

By the way, it looks like you have a Steeroids rack - how do you like it?

Thanks,
Paul
