    I got these coil overs pre assembled from Mudify and this one came with a pretty decent bulge to one side. Is this good to go and of no concern or should I get the top hat reinstalled with the bushing centered?.D2BFA33A-10A0-4866-B265-D209AE939EF2.jpg

    I'm thinking that top nyloc nut is way too tight, but not sure.

    id be inclined to straighten that out. It's pretty easy/safe once they're installed.

    this is typical of using impact ratchet instead of hand ratchet or proper torque wrench...

    you would be surprised how many people right now have bushings looking like that on their taco...

    The assembly don’t look right. The only way to fix it is to tear it down and reassemble it.
