i would assume to remove it would destroy the shaft.

but how would bolting 180 degrees matter?
i can't think of any reason a u joint would have to be bolted in one way vs another
what would you do if you replaced your diff? not like the diff/drive shaft are balanced together or something.

If u look in the FSM it is recommended if there is any vibration to rotate 90° on the 4 bolts drive and rotate if not fixed. So there something from factory they know.
