Rod end towards the front of the car, poly end towards the axle is what I was told.

Actually it is poly on body...rod on axle.....it wont fit the other way....

What I was more looking for was a pic of the rod end on the axle....Looking mainly at the offset....trying to make sure I have that right....

I have :

W--|-DS

where W is the wheel, DS is the drive shaft (aka center of car) and the - signify the bushing...so -- is the long side of the bushing and - is the short side....I'm trying to make sure aht is right...

I have some noise coming from it after the install...I rechecked my torque....but it is still there...so I'm not sure what is going on....

I installed the non adjustable bme lca's over the weekend. There should be one end thats wider than the other, that goes on the axle mount. On that wider end, there should be one side thats offset "which meanssticks out morethan the other" The wider part goes towards the center of the car "facing the diff"

Hopes this helps, Its hard to describe.

The next time I am under my car I can take a pic of them. Here is a pic from the BMR website that shows the stock LCA's.

As tritonpwrd said, the larger offset goes towards the center of the car meaning the LCA is closer to the wheel than the driveshaft.

doah, thanks man for taking the time to do that for me. I really appreciate it...I guess I need to find some time this weekend to get under there and switch it around...I bet that is my noise...


BTW, don't feel bad about the axle...the only reason that mine isn't rusted is that I live in Phoenix and there is NO water here!!!!
