shock plates

OK, So these shock/spring plates arrived at my house today.

They look great other than one seems bent. The stud the shock mounts to is about 1/4 higher (or the other one is 1/4 lower). Please tell me if this is ok or not.

I realize the pic is blurry but you can see what I mean.

Just straighten it out if needed Harry. You have a torch?

Thanks Marty, I'm not sure I want to, I just purchased 'em. Would you install them as is?

Depends on how much angle it puts on your shock bushing. Hold it in place under the car and see if the shock is at about the same angle. It only takes 5 minutes with a vice a torch and a large adjustable open end to tweak that plate

What Bob said. Shouldn't be a big deal to correct.
