Lower joints appear to be upside down

The threaded portion of the BallJoint that engages with the spindle should be pointed UP on the lower control arm... Or maybe it's been too long since I did one of these...?

You are correct on a later model GM car, but I remember now these cars are different. It has been a while since I screwed with my a-arms and some of this is getting fuzzy.

Both upper and lower ball joint pins point down on a 55-57.

Yep you two had me worried, so I went out and looked and was relieved when I saw it!!! Also it's the only way to mount the lower ball joint due to the two screws that come in from the sides.

Troy, your lower ball joints are installed correctly.. The last A arms I did was on a later 60's model GM and they point IN, but I took a look at a trifive setup today to check and yours are correct... Sorry if my comment upset you~
