Help with Uppper A-Arms

[mark @ old school]

When dismantling the front suspension on my '61, it was obvious to me which upper a-arm was the left side and which was the right. Now, a couple of years later, it's not so obvious. Anyone have pictures or another way to ID left and right?

Mark, first of all welcome to the site, someone here will know the answer to your question

Are the lower A arms in place ? The upper will come out along the same lines ? We just did the suspension on a Buick and I cant remember how we figured it out.

The one that looks like this is the left front.

The one that doesn't look like this is the right front.

The longer part of the Y shape of the arm.. Ball joint being the bottom, the bushing ends being the top of the Y... will point towards the front of the vehicle.

This is everything on the Left.

This is everything on the right.

Thanks, guys. The big picture of the left arm got it done for me.
