Default RC x joint orientation.

So. Had someone install some control arm drop brackets a couple weeks back. Just noticed they installed my lca with the x joint on the axle rather than the body, like it was. The uppers are fine.

Do I need to ask them to flip them, or is this not as important as I think it is?

For the record. Just heard back from Rough Country directly (finally). It DOES matter the orientation. The flex joint needs to be on the body, not the axle.
