I can't speak for GT6's but the TR6 (and TR4A and TR5/250) have "handed"
Verticle links in that the trunion thread is reversed left to right and
using an RH link on the left side will force one to use an RH trunion and
the caster angle is built into the trunion. Using the wrong trunion will
give you screwy handling. I know from experience. (I didn't do it, the
DPO did)
