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.





I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

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