The stud on the bottom faces in towards the pumpkin. The shock doesnt sit square or flush on it becsuse the upper mounts are the opposite way. Wondering if I have the wrong mounts.
 
You have shock plate mounted wrong..stud should be pointing toward rear bumper
 
Hard to believe it was able to even install that way...lol
 
Could be wrong plate for the car. Looks like the only way to install that plate.
 
I didnt do it. I noticed it when I had it up in the air to fix brake line leaks. Not sure if they can be turned to go the right direction. I will look closer tonight. The rearend was changed from a 7 1/4 to 8 3/4 by the previous owner.
 
Ok. Looked at the pic then at mine. They are on updide down and reversed. Mystery solved.
 
You'll need 8 3/4 shock plates . He probably had to turn them that way to get the u-bolts through if he used the 7 1/4 shock plates.
 
Ok. I talked to him yesterday. He said he was told they were 8 3/4 shock plates. Uggh.
