Upper A-Arms, outer pivot shafts...

Driver side pic.
Well, you learn something everyday! 
The zerk fittings on the upper A-Arm, outer pivot shafts are supposed to be toward the rear of the vehicle...not facing forward. The reasoning? A) easier access to the grease fitting.  And B) after removing the fitting, you can access the Allen bolt for caster/camber (w/out removing the cap). We screwed up. Let's get it corrected...

Given the vehicle is under load (springs installed), we had to strap down the chassis, remove the shock, front stabilizer link, and compress the spring. Then, the pivot shaft caps could be safely removed.


That's now correct. That's on us!
