Front Stabilizer link install question

The online TIS and the TIS that gets installed together with GTI caution that when installing the front stabilizer link, the wrench surface on ball head must be parallel to the shock absorber axle.

I did this any way but I'm curious why. Strangely the Bentley manual nor pelican instructions do not mention about this. I looked closely at the install and I don't see why this is necessary. Anyone know? I suspect a lot of people miss this detail when installing the front stabilizer link. But may be it's of no consequence if not followed.
