Does anybody know what's wrong with my car? (photos inside)
I have my car lowered last Sat and found this on Sun when I went to the alignment shop.
The right shock (left pic) was not aligned middle. It lean toward to the back of the car.
Is this the problem from incorrect installation of the shocks or it's the problem with the caster of the car and there's nothing to do with the shocks. Or...???
Help.

That piece has nothing to do with how the struts are mounted. It is only a retainer for the upper strut. With the wheels on the ground you can loosen the nut under the cap and turn the metal bracket(retainer) so that it is aligned with the other one.
Or you can leave it alone. It will not affect anything.

The metal bracket(retainer) could not be moved because of the head of the shocks are there.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that there's nothing wrong.
