Well Terry Haines, one of the power train engineers for the car installed mine unside down. I haven't died yet.



this sends a conflicting message, imho. he has a lift, and I am sure he has SF alignment kit, which is not required unless something goes wrong... if dealership mechanic can do it the right way in less than 1 hour, I don't see how TAH is saving time by doing it upside down. SF has to be lowered to get the LCA out and alignment needs to be done w/ new LCAs installed any-freaking-way.

on a side note. did any of you w/ upside-down bolts had to cut the bolt shorter? the clearance between SF and TX case is pertty tight. I would think that the powertrain flexes enough to worry about it.
