Is this right? This doesn’t look right. I know theres a sandwich of spacers/shims involved but it just looks wrong to me.
And i guess how would one correct this strut alignment
That exposed bolt on the left looks crooked…
@Gumby @FordTechOne What say you

There is something different in your pic compared to the others that were posted. Either the spring hat or spring, notice the coil close to the bucket. Here is another pic for comparison.

and @WNCHSTR96 I guess im more concerned with how the left most bolt looks bent and in contact with the bucket.
Is the bucket drilled with a round hole or slightly slotted? Either way, it would be unusual for anyone to get it so crooked they actually bent that thread. Is the shim under the bucket also there, or did they forget it and that caused it to be bent? If the lower shim wasn't installed, the 3 bolts would show different thread lengths.

Ill have to check, after seeing the others trucks mine does appear to be missing the slots which is also strange.
Ill try to look up inside the bucket when i have the wheel off.
