Would I notice any problems with them being backwards??
If they cant get the arms on right, i would worry about what else they screwed up :(

I'm sure they did everything else right and this was probably just an honest mistake. I know there were no instructions in the boxes. I'm sure it hasn't affected anything.

When they fix them will it need to be realigned??

I doubt it. The angle could play a small factor. I'd measure the bolts eye-to-eye and see if it changes after the swap.

Thanks. Will they be just flipping them over or do they need to swap sides??

Just flip them over. Just make sure the bend still bends in toward the middle of the vehicle

I'm assuming there is no harm in driving with them this way for a few more days??
