Default UMI LCA's whitch way do I install them?

Im working on my car right now and need help. I just bought umi lca # 2017 but the directions does not tell me which way to install them. Does the welded nut face towards the front of the car or rear? My phone wont let me up load a picture and im at my storage. I dont want to go home without pitting these on. thanks

the easiest way is to just compare them with the stock ones. They will bolt up the same, with the same angles. The shorter of the two sides goes towards the front, IIRC

IMO, It really doesn't matter since the #2017 had rod-ends on both ends of the control arms.

Thanks for the purchase!

You can put the LH threaded hex toward the rear as the "standard" practice, although it doesn't matter from a performance standpoint.

thanks

Thanks everybody for the info. I only put the passenger side on and started to put on the 3 point sub frame connector before I lost to much sun light and had to call it a day. Hopefully next weekend I'll be done installing everything. LCA's, tunnel brace mounted T/A, phb, and 3pt sub frame connectors. All UMI

FWIW....I would put the adjuster with the nut to the chassis mount. That way you can adjust "through" the wheel well, and not while laying underneath.
