W124 Front Control Arm Bushing Orientation

Last week I intalled new control arms (Febi) on my '94 E320. They're preloaded with the bushings. I went in for an alignment and the Tech pointed out to me that the bushings are not properly orientated with repect to the flat spot being horozontal or vertical, depending on the front or rear bushing.

I am mad at myself and Febi for not having been aware of this and correcting it before I installed and went for the alignment.

Anyway - what issues/symptoms can arise from an incorrect bushing orientation?

Thanks.....
