Looks like the car was off the floor when you took that photo.
They straighten out once the weight is on the wheels and the wishbone moves up a bit. Craig.

I'm 99% sure the crank should be facing towards the front of the car. Your photo is of the drivers or offside so it looks wrong.
Sorry Craig.

Ditto to Craig's point. The crank should point forwards on the XJ6/XJS lower wishbone. I made the same mistake and recognised it before getting too far. You wont be able to set up the suspension correctly unless you change it. Hopefully not too long a job.

Wrong in both pictures. (The second picture does have the same picture/camera no. as the first one though).
There were two types of lower wishbone, A straight one and the angled one pictured here. The angled one should be cranked forward.
