HELP!!! Installing ball joints
I lost the instructions. Which way do I install the bolts? From the top, so the nut side is towards the ground. (or) From the bottom, so the nut side is towards the hood? My Haynes manual is no help, as usual.
Thanks, Steve.

The Approved bolts must be used. Mount them top-down with the nut underneath. After torquing them you can peen the end of the bolt for insurance on the nuts coming off if you wish. I always used a bit of red locktight on them instead and I've never had a nut come off.
