      upper arm orientation

      It has been recently pointed out that I may have my upper arms swapped or installed on the wrong side. How does one determine this and can anyone else verify from this picture?

      I'm not a chevelle expert, but the arm sweep looks like its in the wrong direction, maybe chevelle is different than 1st and 2nd Camaros, Novas, and others I have built, hopefully a chevelle racer/builder reply's

      on a side note, well done to change to a tall ball joint!!

      When I installed them I must admit I was a little confused as well. The factory arms had already been removed so were of no help. I had a friend looking at them at the time and we both agreed this was correct...just didnt look right the other way. Now I'm doubting my luck again lol.

      This is the best picture I can come up with with the factory arms...

      Looks like the upper ball joint is either directly above, or forward of the lower. It needs to be behind the lower

      I agree it looks like you might have negative caster but it could just be the angle of the pic.

      Looking at ridetechs instructions for the 67 A body upper arms it looks like you have them installed properly.

      Thanks for the replies...I will pull the wheels/rotors and take a closer look.
