Default 78-88 G body suspension

I am looking for either a diagram or a picture of the front upper control arm and ball joint on either the driver or passenger side of a 1978-1988 G body car. Would be great if someone could pull off a tire and take me a picture. I put lowering springs in mine and the steering geometry is way off when wheels are turned. I'm wondering weather I have the arms on the correct side even though I marked them before painting and rebuilding. which is possible or do I need to get an adjustable upper arm. Hoping someone can help, if it matters they are Eibach spring which should lower it about 1 1/2 inches Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dean, but most of them pictures show aftermarket control arms and I'm running factory at the moment .They have a distinctive shape and I'm questioning myself.
