I'm pretty sure the wider part of the pillow ball mount faces towards the fender.

Ok how do I explain this to make sense. Humm on plate you should have adjustment marks for + or – camber. You should have one side with more marks (from center). This is to increase the amount of – camber. That side should be facing the engine bay. And the side that has less marks (from center) should be facing the fender/outside. Does this make sense to you? To put it in other words the adjustment slider should be parallel to the radiator support and the side with the most adjustment marks should be facing the motor. Let me know if that did not make sense. If it did not I can draw up a quick pic in paint and e-mail it to ya
