Hi guys,following some debate on another thread can u please confirm the correct way round for top front w/bones.I can see that short to front and m/room to front may help self centering but is this correct??Bottom w/bones arent handed?

the upper bones should lean back, and the threaded bit should point up.

Following on from the other thread if you set it up as you say with short to the front and then mushroom to the front. Then one counteracts the other.
As Joel says you are trying to lean the hub back to increase the caster angle, this is achieved by having the short arm to the rear and having the hole in the mushroom to the front. Next time you are looking at the front suspension think about it.

Just got to this part of my build and wondered which was correct. See the pic for the correct assembly
