Default Spring install, alignment bolt?

I turned the 17mm bolt that bolts the lower control arm to the body of the car when doing my spring install (by accident of course). This is the bolt that has a 17MM nut on one side and a 17MM bolt on the other with notches around it, looks like it is used to align the suspension.

I just set it back to what it is on the other side of the car, should I be OK for now?

Did you move the adjuster nut below the 17mm bolt? If you didn't your fine. You didn't change the alignment. If you did move the adjuster, The car needs to be re-aligned.

I'm reading it as it got moved "I just set it back to what it is on the other side of the car" and if so you better get it aligned since the right and left side almost never match.

Besides, what springs did you just install? Did the ride height change? If so, you needed the realign anyways.
