    Yes the balljoint needs to be rotated 180 degrees. You can do it in 5 minutes without even jacking the truck up or taking the wheel off. Just take off the big nut and washer, lift the UCA over the balljoint threaded end, turn it around, and reinstall nut.

    This, turn your ball joint around to the correct position.

    Just to add to this.
    4th pic is what is old style arm with "newer" spec-ride bushings...edit for wording. Guess i thought i was in a different, help identify thread...Doh.
    Last pic has the original bushings.

    Couple pics for future reference.

    Can you adjust the ball joint without loosening the lower castle nut?
