Can a trailing arm be installed upside down?

I am away from my vehicle right now so can't post pics. But I've been thinking about how stretched my rear trailing arm chassis bush looks, like it is always under tension downwards. Is it possible the previous owner (only had it about a month) has installed the trailing arms upside down thus the bush end of the arm pushes in at a more extreme angle than it normally would?

The vehicle is lifted 2" but I had nowhere near this sort of angle on the chassis bush on my Disco with the same lift, at standard parked flat ride height.

Cheers for any insight!

std arms can be fitted either way ,its because you lifted it that arms are now more angled

Thanks James. I just wanted to check if the arm could have been installed wrong at some point. I plan on putting some corrected or jointed trailing arms on anyway, but was just interested in seeing if flipping them would improve things for now, a quick job!
