Lower Ball Joint Mistral

Hi everybody. My first real question.
I have a mistral. N reg. 2.7TD. Been a really great little workhorse.
I have had to change a lower front ball joint.
Both sides on mine have the actual ball joint secured by 4x17mm nuts/bolts on the top of the lower wishbone but on a recent diagram/picture it looks like the joint is underneath the lower wishbone.
I have not had any issues (Tyre ware, Vibration etc). Nothing touches the drive shaft or anything else and it has passed the mot test every year.
Should it be on top or under?

Thanks
Bob.
