Gents. Just fitting the upper trailing arms and noticed that both arms are the same (and parts catalogue seems to confirm this). However the end that fits to the diff flairs out on one side. Now with both arms flairing the same way, which side should they be mounted ie, flair to left or flair to right. Hope that makes sense. I know, I should have taken more notice/pics when I removed them. One of the multitude of things I didn't note down. Trying to get a pic and will post if need be. Cheers Ron
Upper Trailing Arms, which is correct way around

I have a funny feeling that it won't matter. I made a mistake thinking left or right as the flair is same either way. So why is it. Is it to compensate for diff being off centre? Cheers Ron

Yep it doesn't matter and it is what it is because, well, it just is.
