Guys, I seem to have an issue. A year later, after replacing the front frame bushings and refreshing the front suspension, I have put all together and ready to mount calipers. When trying to put caliper on, I noticed the break line being too short and realized that the caliper mount should be front facing ... however for some reason my caliper mount bracket ended up to be on the rear. I don't have before/after photo, however based on the location of the hard brake line, it seems like my caliper mount bracket should have been front facing not rear facing. Something along the line happened ... may be I have put left side steering knuckle on the right side?? Trying to figure this out ... I had left side parts in one box and the right side in another so not sure how this happened. Did I use the correct side steering knuckle and somehow installed it the wrong way .... is that even possible? .... I don't think so as all went together well and looks right to me with the exception of the brake caliper position. I would love someone to chime in to see if I have an issue and need to take it all apart or alternatively just get a longer brake line to reach the now rear positioned caliper and call it good.

Knuckles are on backwards. Swap them side to side.

Darn it, yeah that's what I figured but thought I'd ask. I must have swapped them out at some point ... not sure how that happened. Thanks!!
