Default Wishbone orientation.

With the wishbones on the front top , is it short leg facing forward ? Or long leg facing forward ? Any help would be appreciated !

Default

As the top front wishbones are design to set the caster of the front wheels, long legs front, short legs back, so the upper pivot point is more back than the lower one, providing the caster angle.
And threaded insert pointing upwards (it is a tricky one too )
