Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:42 pmI think that most will be slightly bent as they are a common jacking up point. I know that mine were quite twisted but only took a twist or two to get them back in shape.

Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 8:58 pmYou're right, the bolt holes do need a bit of persuasion to get it all to line up. A bit of a twist usually get them all OK.

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2018 10:24 amYes, especially the castor arm end. I find that just putting it together loosely while up in the air, and then tightening things up once it's on the flat, can help. Quite a few of the suspension bolts (though not these) are supposed to be tightened up with the weight on the car in any case - top and bottom inner bolts in particular.
