Lower Strut Bolt Orientation Question

This might be a stupid question but I put in my bilstein/swift spec r's today and just realized that the two lower strut bolts on the driver side are pointing in the opposite side of the ones on the passenger side, however both of the top camber bolts are pointing inwards for -1 camber.

Looking in the service manual shows that the head of the bolts are in the back of the strut mount if you are looking towards the front of the car. My passenger side strut bolts are opposite of that. So are there any possible problems with this, I'd rather not deal with flipping them around since I will be getting an alignment this week, thanks.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.


Arrows pointed towards outside = -2. Inside = -1.

The other bolts are just bolts. They can go either way.

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but tried searching the forum and google with no luck. What is the part number for the lower bolt on the strut, the one underneath the camber bolt. I need one and if anyone can direct me to a vendor that sells that bolt it would be awesome! Thanks.
