Hi Everyone

Working on the IRS. I have most figured out in my brain. Except for the left hand nuts.

Here is the toe link. This one has me confused. It has one left hand nut. I do not see a picture or diagram that shows which side its on. Does it matter? How does this look?

Here is the upper control arm. I found a picture in the manual and think its good. Is it correct?

I appreciate help looking over my pictures.

Thx. Tom

Everything looks good. The left hand nuts and threads is so you can adjust the alignment without taking it apart.

ok. Thx Michael. I seem to have two LH nuts left in a package in the IRS fastener box. I'll work my way through this and get both sides going and hope to not have any left over parts. ;)

You want a left and right on each of those adjustable links. Rotating the adjuster one way shortens the link and turning it the other way lengthens it.
