    Hey guys,

    Just doing so maintenance on my truck and noticed that the bottom mount of my kings aren’t straight. Is this normal? If not, what is the best way to get it straight or aligned?

    I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!

    It’s fine. The lower bushing (spherical bearing) allows the lower shock mount to rotate under normal articulation. You can probably twist it back to being straight but it’ll most likely go back after some use. As long as the aluminum shock body itself isn’t rubbing or being gouged on the lower shock mount you'll be fine.
