Front Forward Lower Control Arm

[BlownGP]

I installed some new front lower control arms with the Cortex solid bearings

Well my driver side one is turned sideways. Is this normal with these bearings?
I am also hearing clunking noise not really going over bumps but more when driving on uneven roads that are not smooth.
I think it is the control arms.

Any help please.
Thanks

I do not have that brand, but both sides of my Steeda control arms are flush. Is the passenger side flush? Did they send you 2 passenger side arms? They should be stamped to indicate position.

Well, you might find this funny. But I've only installed the drivers side one. I had HELL getting the ball joints lose. So with how long that took, I haven't had enough time or really willingness to tackle the other side. hahaha.

Now this is just a weekend car so I maybe put 200 miles on it since I installed the diver side one.
I'm pretty sure I installed the drivers side one on the right because the brake cooling is angled the right way.

Do yours make any knocking noises while driving?

Ya, I had a fun time getting the ball joints loose. Tried every trick in the book. Just took a Barry Bonds' esque swing at it with a hammer and it popped out. No clunks or noises from them. Made a HUGE difference in steering feel and response. Now my rear suspension........something is squeeky......

Yes, I eventually put pressure on the arm with a floor then started hitting the stud. lol.
Was not fun.

Thanks for the help though.
