71 Rear Spring Link Bolt
Hello, Just put new trailing arms, strut rods, new spring link assembles and reconditioned the spring pac with new liners. Problem is the bolt head is tilted toward the front of the car and is not straight up and down. It would seem if i lifted up
on the trailing arm the bolt would be tipped even more than it is!! Is this normal and just need to get the car back on the ground and let things just settle in? All the bushings, washers and bushing cups are where they should be. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Totally normal, don't worry until the car is at ride height
M
(but do check and make sure the spring is sitting flat on the differential front/back and don't torque that until the spring is loaded of course)
