Track rod ends

i am about to fit my steering arm track rod ends and raceleda uprights, i thought the track rod ends go above their fixing point with the bolt going down through the fixing hole and secured from below, but i have seen two cars with the track rod ends secured one from below and one from above both using the same setup as mine.

Any thoughts please

Which ever way keeps the steering arms level I suppose.

Looking at a one (MNR) the other night they were underneath with the bolt on top.

Mine are below with Nut on top which im almost certain is correct. My uprights should only go one way round as they are the mnr fabricated ones not the raceleda so im not sure if that makes a difference - best thing to do is send Marc a picture and ask if its correct.

Sorry said bolt meant nut now edited

Ours are bolts from below, with the nyloc on top. But check with Marc, that is always the best.

I checked with Marc when I did mine. Nut should be on top and arm should curve forward to the steering arm.
