Default Another alignment question

Gentlemen,

Here's a drawing (from memory) of my alignment bolts looking from the front of the car. I haven't messed with caster in a long time. I don't even know what the caster numbers are. The car has a depowered rack. It holds a straight line and is pretty easy to drive once she gets moving. Tire wear is very even.

Per the drawing, the rear alignment bolts point ROUGHLY to 11 o'clock on the passenger side, and ROUGHLY 1 o'clock on the driver's side. Should they be reversed to 1 o'clock on the passenger side and 11 o'clock on the driver's side? I'm getting some bushing creep out of the front bosses and I was wondering if the switch would take some load off the bolts/bushings without really changing the caster too much. I'm looking for a theory answer as to whether or not it's worth the effort to make the change. Or, maybe it's just wrong the way it is now...

Thanks,
