Default RE SuperRide Lower Control Arm Orientation

So, I replaced the bushings. Like a dummy, I yanked them off before I noticed there was an offset in the control arms. Anyone know which end, body or axel, gets the offset? Also, does it go up or down?

Thanks in advance.

x2, offset on the axle end with the bushing above the centerline of the tube. I believe the offset is there to allow more droop before the arm bottoms out on the bracket.

x3 just for good measure! Where are your inner bushing sleeves? Just didn't get that far yet?

I knew I forgot something....

I'm kidding. They were cleaned and reinstalled before they were put back in. I just re-used out of the old bushings.

Right on! I just know some people forget the most simplest things, so just wanted to throw it out there.
