    Does the top of the rear driver shock look bent? Or is it because I'm only wearing one shoe? Thanks.

    Pull the wheel off and look closer. It could be just the dust boot out of kilter.

    The stud looks perpendicular to the mount, as it should be, and matching the other side.

    I think it's just the boot too. It must have pulled off the shock body and now getting squshed between the shock body and mount. You can see where the boot ribs touch each other only on the forward side.

    It's either that or the shock is not connected at the bottom anymore and got bent.

    I would bet the bottom mount has a problem like missing bolt or a bent broken shock
