No my friend, I did nothing wrong perhaps the PO did
something wrong but I did nothing wrong:-)

The numbers you just gave me match with my KYB shock
boxes so I think what happened was the PO installed
the wrong/smaller shocks and fastened down on the nut
and bent in the brackets inward significantly. Maybe I
can pry them out to fit the KYB's but that will have
to be another weekend thanks for the help.
