Ok...might sound dumb, But got a pretty basic question for you all.

Here are the pics of the upper mounts on the two front shocks of my 96' Tahoo k1500.

The guy that mounted and balanced the tires and did an alignment commented on the shock mounts having washers and spacers in a negative manner. So it got me thinking that I really dont know what would be correct.


A. Should the shock have washers/spacers/etc...on either side to center it in the mount

B. Should it have no washers or spacers and sort of "free float" from side to side

C. Or should spacers or washers be used on one side only?
