you're welcome to this one:

The point of the offset bushing is to move the upper ball joint more
toward the rear of the coach (to get more caster). Thinking about it
that way helps to figure out which way to point the bushing (for me anyway).

Karen,

Good on yah!

This is a much better way to explain how to install the offset upper bushings BECAUSE some of them DON''T have arrows!!!!

Another way of saying it is that the bushing should be installed in the rear "leg" of the upper control arm so that it shortens the
distance from the pivot point to the ball joint.

Regards,
Rob M.
