Without going out and hunting up an old lift arm to look at, IIRC the "L" shape on the bottom of the rod should not slide down far enough to get out of the "fork" in the bottom of the casting.
Therefore the fork should keep the "L" shape at a 90 degree angle as you described.
If I have one here I'll try to look at it tomorrow and see for sure.
