AFAIK, the upper and lower a-arms are the same across the board: Herald,
Vitesse, Spitfire and GT6. And no, the ball joints aren't handed.
Also, in regard to an earlier suggestion, the upper a-arm on the
Herald-chassis cars is in two pieces, either of which can be used on
either "front" or "back."

I'd sort of suggested bent suspension turrets privately; I hadn't thought
of the slim, but nonetheless real, possibility that you suggest here as a
cause for those bent turrets. Possibly even a long-ago, overexuberant
engine R&R could have caused some damage?
