Just a quick check on the UCA bolts and strut bushing lubrication?
UCA bolt go in from the center???  meaning lock washer and nut go on outside ends and bolts slide in from center of arm.  That's how mine came off and most pics show but...  MoparMax article has the nuts on the inside and a post on this site from long ago shows nuts on inside.

Strut rod bushings.  Any lubrication on the bushings on both the washer side and frame side.

Thanks.  It's finally assembly day.  Will see how far I get.  UCAs are actually in but if wrong I can reverse the bolts easily enough.

I put the UCA bolts in the way you show.  I guess they would work either way.  I think the bolt heads are on the inside so the mechanic can adjust the alignment easier although he still has to reach down beside the engine to loosen the nuts. :shruggy:
