Default Shock absorber, mounting

Hello,

I think there is a new problem. I wanted to install my 4 new Stipe dampers tomorrow. The right damper is immobile rusted, the left damper rotates freely without any damping.

When preparing the transmission mechanism from the old rear dampers, I see that the lever arm for the right side is bent about 15 °. The left arm is straight. The lever length is different.

I do not understand that.

For this I must explain that the wrong leaf spring was very wrongly mounted with many errors and therefore about 2 inches slipped to the left.


I say thanks in advance!
