So my friend has a 96 4runner and got upper control arm(links) and was wondering which side the HEIM joint goes, to the frame or axle side? 3 different answers from toytec and need help.
Rear HEIM joint control link placement...where?

I'm not sure it matters. They are for adjustability and as long as they are both on the same end I think either way will be fine.
The thought process is to have one end adjustable and the other has a bushing to absorb vibration.
Also since they are the uppers they aren't in alot of danger of getting hung on anything. If they were lowers I would put the joint at the frame so the axle end has the beef to drag around on.
