Landing Gear's Tilt Angle

Hello guys, I found out the landing gear or the bogie of A310, A380, A350-900, and B767 are tilted forward. But most of the other aircraft like the A350-1000, B777, B787 or A330 are all tilted backward.
Some of my engineer's friend said the forward tilting will absolve the impact better but may damage the body gear steering actuator, but why don't the new 787 and A330neo have this feather?
Thank you very much!
