    Trying to figure out if this looks right(see pic)

    Ive seen photos were the the uniball is almost straight up and down, is it fine to be at this angle just resting?

    That's perfectly normal. The pictures you see that are straight up and down are more than likely 2wd with lift spindles

    Left spindles put less angle on the upper and lower arms

    I could be wrong, but that looks to be on the wrong side and upside down.

    He's right. It is upside down. I just noticed the grease fittings. They should be on the bottom of the arm

    This is approximately what it should look like

    Instructions look pretty straight forward to me

    Atleast it's an easy fix. The uniball cup looked like it had a funny angle to me, but I didn't even think about the arms being backwards. It happens to us all from time to time

    Left and right are swapped making the uniball cup upside down
