Sorry, I misread your first post. I thought it was the rear bushing bolt you turned around. Now I see it's the front. But same analysis applies as regards how it affects the adjustment.

As for insights . . . no. Other than the obvious--and obviously unacceptable--recommendation to remove the transmission lines. By the way, I'm in the same boat: I reversed my front bolt, too.

What I really want to know is how you removed the old rear bushings from the LCA.
