    Just make sure the long arm goes into the bracket, or towards the rear of the car... the long arm is on the right in both of your pics.

    YES, correct fitment! A surprising amount of people install it wrong.

    *NOTE*
    This past spring when I had my coilovers installed I had the AMS Tension Rods installed as well and it was just the ticket. The new Tension Rods were the correct size to allow for perfect adjustment to correct that previous mentioned caster issue associated with the Ebay Tension Rods.
    I'm not sure but it appears that the OP has a set of Ebay Control Arms. If so, I'd suggest he keeps an eye on them especially the locking collars.
    I have a set of those that are still brand new and never installed after hearing of issues associated with them from members.
    These are what those look like;

    user - I assume (although you never mentioned) that you're installing new control arms due to installing some new shocks/springs that has lowered the car and you're attempting to compensate for the negative camber created by the new shocks/springs. It's generally understood that any amount of lowering (usually anything more than .8") will also require the replacement of the front tension rods with adjustable ones. Otherwise you'll encounter possible caster issues when you do the follow-up alignment.

    No, not at all. The thinner body part of the camber arm is what goes towards the baracket attached to the body of the car. If installed in the reverse manner, the likelihood of the arm's body making contact with the body's mounting bracket is high at the very extreme extension of movement of the arm.
    The above pictures follow inline with Egg's comments.



    As you see in the attached picture, the threads go completely to the end of one side (on the left) of the extension but don't on the right. Therefore the right side of that arm is the side that must be attached to the bracket on the bulkhead.
