quick shock mounting question

[muddysub]

how important is it that the shock eyes are parallel to each other? i.e. the upper and lower mounting bolts both pointing from front to back on the truck. if i built new lower front shock mounts would it matter if the lower end of the shock is turned 90* from the upper?

My fronts have been perpendicular for a few years now, no issues whatsoever.

Besides potential bushing wear, I can't see it making a difference. And shock bushings are cheap.

Shot I thought they were designed to be perpindicular not Parallel?
