When i purchased the car the rear shocks didnt look right. So when i restored the underside i bought new shocks along with new leaf springs. After fitting both i noticed the new shocks didnt appear to sit right on the spring plates. The original set on the car were tightened right up which bent the bolt at the bottom. I have not completely tightened up the new ones as i know it will do exactly the same. So i thought the PO had replaced the spring plates with a incorrect pair so i bought a pair of spring plates from Don. When the springplates arrived i checked them against the pair on the car t find they are exactly the same shape.
Can someone tell what if anything is wrong. Pictures show the shocks in place but not completely tightened up
If i tighten the nut up the bolt securing the shock to the spring plate will bend to the angle of the spring plate
