Driver side Lower control arm layout

I started on the lower control arm bracket for the drivers side today.  It took a while but when everything was right, the DS was in EXACTLY the same spot as the PS no matter what you measure.  People make fun of american car manufacturing quality, but it is really good on newer cars.  I am not used to things lining up this perfectly on older cars.

Notice the bolt head to steel edge distance on the two brackets below.  It just worked out that way since I started with the same size steel angle, the frame rail height was exactly the same, and the control arm angles are exactly the same, and the axle is perfectly level, and its mounts are exactly the same height...
