Rear strut orientation
 
I was just wondering if the rear strut orientation matters? I recently swapped to RCE yellow springs and it turns out that I have the rear driver's side strut facing the wrong way (sticker on the strut facing out instead of in). I'm thinking that it shouldn't matter, but I just wanted to double check. I know that there's the indent on the spring perch for the spring to sit correctly, and I'm just hoping that since the spring would be compressed either way that the orientation of that indent shouldn't matter.

Springs has to be seated correctly. Not worth whatever risk and issues that might affect.

the spring is seated on the perch correctly, just that it is facing a different direction than before since the whole strut is turned 180* from the original position.
