Wondering if the Scale front shocks having the offset top mount has any wear issues by putting a slight side load on the shaft as it compresses?

Installed the GAZ rear shocks today.  They seem fine.  I like that they are not flashy.   I was surprised how worn the AVO bushings were.  Of course shock oil leaking onto  the poly stuff is not ideal.

I was provided a shock dyno sheet and can upload that if there is interest.

Yep. Poly bushings and Avo oil do not go together well.

Probably not much of a wear issue because I can't see how they'd even fit as depicted.  :confused:
If the shafts can be rotated, then maybe?
