Nope - longer arms are the fronts - that angles the vertical link backwards=
 to give the 3 degrees of castor.  And Dave you will need TR4 trunnions wit=
h the castor built in to finish this.

The longer arms are the rears.

I think the letters are on the shorter (front) arms.

The letter faces up. L up on the left side, R up on the right side.

Subject: [TR] 4A upper A arms

I am converting my 3A to 4A front suspension using 4A upper A arms.  I boug=
ht them from a breaker, and as i clean them up i notice that 2 of the 4 arm=
s have L on one side and R on the other. Yes, left and right, but beyond th=
at I don't understand.   And the other 2 A arms have no marking

How do i install these A arms?
