Suspension top hat

Is the top hat supposed to look like this?? Are they supposed to be bent like that? Or straight?
Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

I went out and looked at the shocks/coils that I took off. The top hat looks just like that.

 

Isn't it there so the spring lays flat against the bottom?

 

Not Sure ... Check the other side - I tend to doubt that both sides would be damaged exactly the same. From the Pic - to me it looks like it was formed during the press operation at the factory. If the other side is the same I think it looks fine. Wait to see if someone else has some better input.....

 

It hard to see in this picture, but if you look close at the shock/coil on the right you can see the top hat has the same shape.

 

Ok thanks for the info guys

 

If you look you will see that the curve is to compensate for the head of the mounting bolts.
