HELP: Rear control arm question
Where the rear upright connects to the rear upper control arm there is a bolt, washer, and nut. The washer is not a flat washer, it is a conical washer.
Does the narrow end of the conical washer face the control arm, or away from the control arm?

Answer
The bolt goes in from the rear, into the upright first, then through the control arm.
The center part of the washer will touch the control arm, and open up towards the nut.
