      How can I tell which side this UMI upper goes on ?

      I have a UMI set of UCA's and I put the drivers side together yesterday but while comparing the upper I pulled off with the one that was left I am thinking I may have put the wrong upper on the drivers side ?
      Here is a picture .

      Is this the replacement upper for the factory part pictured or for the other side ? The instructions had an angled picture of the parts that are kind of tough to tell which is which . Thinking maybe they should invest in a D and a P stamp to make it easy for us mouth breathers

      Looks to me like those are opposite sides.

      Thanks Dale , I just started second guessing myself when I had them sitting side by side . I had read a few other posts where guys had mounted their uppers on the wrong side and now I know why as they look an awful lot alike to guys who don't do this everyday ... LOL

      Looks incorrect to me - these should produce additional Positive Caster and it looks like you would have Negative Caster as Installed

      Sorry for the delay. The one in the photo is the passenger side upper. The bisected tube goes toward the rear.

      Those arms should produce 5-6 degrees positive caster and one degree negative camber easily.

      You can always PM or email me for a quick response.

      Thx

      Thanks , Ramey . I kept meaning to e-mail you guys but between work , my Daughter starting college and my computer acting up just never got to it . Thanks for taking the time to answer my question on the forum .

      Still think a D and a P stamp would help those of us who struggle
