ok see above how the adjustment barrel is offset from the bushings on each end...

laid flat on the table the profile could look like this

o__o barrel down

or like this

o``o barrel up

i intalled them as you see them on the picture, adjustment barrel on the topmost side...

but the stock upper control arms curve down on the top side, the main bulk is on the bottom side.

should i have installed them with the adjustment barrel (main bulk) on the bottom side???

should not matter in the least. the mounting points are going to be the same distance apart no matter if one way or the other. Unless their is a clearance issue with something hitting it if it is one way? Should not matter unless you just think it looks stupid or something?
