Does the centreline of the stub axle line up with the centre of the lower ball joint on a UC front end?
Or is it located further back?
I need to take some measurements and it would be easier to run a string line through the ball joint if that lines up with the stub axle positions?

The only difference between Lh, Lx and Uc is the Uc top control arm ball join is set back 1 1/2 degrees more. The stub axle and ball joints are the same. Only the top control arm is different.

The top and bottom ball joints and stub axle have the same centre weather its LH,LX or UC.
