Here's a couple of pictures of TRANSAM cars front upper a-arms. If you look closely you can see that in the top picture that this design is using both orientations on the same A-arm. Go figure!

Oh, and if you are wondering what the rear hatch damper is for on the bottom picture, it is a potentiometer. As the suspension moves through its travel range this supplies the telemetry with the input for the R/F suspension travel. The team member I asked said they were interested in how close they were to full bottoming under braking. This is a very serious Corvette team. The top car is a jag. Also of note is the roll bar pillow block right above the shock mount.
