theyre as far forward as possible. the calipers are mounted in the front of the wheel and the bleeders are on side towards the front of the car.. is this wrong? this is my first time with mopar disc brakes..

the calipers can be mounted front or rear , sometimes they interfere with the swaybar in front but as long as they clear they are fine in front but the Bleed screw must be at the top of the caliper , if not you will never get the air out

well i think so, i mean obviously the bleed screws on top of the caliper but if i swapped calipers i think it would be mounted with the screw higher up then it is right now.. if that makes sense haha cause the calipers are mounted in the front side of the rotor and are at an angle so if the screw is in the front of the car rather then towards the rear that would be the bottom right? like ./ rather then '/ haha i currently have ./ set up lol so i will be changing them to '/ right?
