Does the direction of LCA bolts to bracket matter? I noticed on the old LCA, after putting in the new ones, that the bolts entered from the rear. I did it in reverse. Do I need to change it? Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as they were installed properly with the vehicle weight on before tightening and torqued to spec, you're good.

When I rebuilt the front suspension on both the wife's '06 TB and my '04 TB I installed the bolts with the head on the inside and the nuts on the outside. 3+ years later, no issues.
GM assembled the frame/suspension and then put the body on top of it. This is also why the front UCA can be a PIA to get out! :hissyfit:
