Default upside down RTA bushing okay? HELP!

So my dumbass installed my driver side RTA bushing upside down. How important is it to have the larger piece of rubber on the bottom? I really hate to remove and reinstall this bushing. I'm using the HardRace RTA bushing and the differences between top and bottom rubber is only 20mm.

My EK also came with one upside down and I noticed this only after a year or so. I had it put right but didn't really notice any difference -which doesn't mean it wasn't there.

I'd have it put right.

Yeah good call, I pulled the trailing arm off again this morning, I'll press out the new bushing and turn it around tomorrow. Reinstalling the new bushing over again shouldn't be a problem right?
Thanks for the advice.
