Default Mehcanical Aileron Differential

I have built an older low wing kit per plan and kept it with asingle servo in the center of the wing.

I found thebelow pic on the web from this site: http://www.modelaircraft.org/mag/ftg...1/31main4.html

My question is: do I need to have the offset torque rod? I didn't think I did as long as the servo connection was
behind as it states in the picture / text. . I assume I will just get less differntial with the offset only at the servo end.
MY torque rods areinstalled more vertically
For airplanes with the servo mounted to the top of the wing, the connection to the servo should be behind the center of the wheel and the connection to the aileron horn should be in front of the hinge line.
