Soo when they labeled the Thrust Arm's "L" and "R" did they mean from the drivers POV or if you're facing the car??

Becuase i changed mine about.. a year ago? and for a while now i've been hearing a terrible "BANG" from the front end when i take hard corners.

I always assumed it was the sway bar links. But recently it got worse, so i took off the wheels and looked around.

I think i put my TR's on the wrong sides.. w/steering wheel at center, they're about 1/2'' from the steering tie rods..... maybe less? It doesn't look like they'd touch unless the steering wheel was at lock one way or the other and the suspension flexed. like a hard turn.....

So do i win the idiot of the year award, or is it something else? the side i can actually see physical evidence of them touching is the side with the on-its-way-out Shock. Is the bad shock just allowing too much suspension travel? Everything is tight as a button, bolt wise.
