Hi. Feeling a little foolish. I did not mark the exact position of the control arm when I installed the bushings. I kind of guesstimated the angle of the control arm with respect to the subframe and eventually with the weight of the car when all the weight will be resting on the control arm. Since the subframe is still off the car, is there another way to make sure that the control arm is at the proper angle when installed on the bushing?

Going by memory, the arrow on the bushing points straight ahead, parallel with ground.
