It's weird...only the middle 3. The rear nor the front seem to be pushed/bent that way. Now the uneven BM bushing squishing makes a little more sense.Loosen it all and shove it back over?

Glass half full! Now find the other half.The driver side looks mostly straight though!
Are the driver side ones pushed up at all? That’s all that would make sense to push the others over to me (or the moved down, but that’s just unlikely).Glass half full! Now find the other half.
Yes a little.Are the driver side ones pushed up at all? That’s all that would make sense to push the others over to me (or the moved down, but that’s just unlikely).
Hopefully when you loosen them all it’ll settle where it ought to be so your job is easier. I’m not sure what else you could have done beyond trail damage to the other mount.Yes a little.
Would it take (require) a sudden moment (like an large sudden impact) to cause that? I would think so. Only event I can think of that would be backing into the rock on Widow Maker in Slade, KY while it was hailing on us. That's what caused the rear damage that buckled my rear quarter a little.Hopefully when you loosen them all it’ll settle where it ought to be so your job is easier.

I would think a few hard hits down on them but the bolts on that side would cock out too.Would it take (require) a sudden moment (like an large sudden impact) to cause that? I would think so.

Edit: I've not had any other impacts and that one seemed quite minor as I was simply between two rocks, front and rear. Speed was under 2-3mph in reverse for about 2 feet.
Yeah thats what's baffling. It's not all the bolts leaning in the same direction. Oh well, well see how it plays out when I start on the GR mounts.I would think a few hard hits down on them but the bolts on that side would cock out too.
Installing the Savvy rockers that have been in my basement for months now is next on the list. I too ordered the thicker nutserts, so this is helpful. I wish I could install the Genright body mounts at the same time, but that means having to rework the Savvy crossmember. Time is not my friend now, so the body mount replacement will have to wait.Finally got around to installing the thick grip range nutserts for the lower slider fasteners. Thanks again for them @mrblaine View attachment 264922
Why are the lock nuts loosened up?
I did the same, if his motivation was the same as mine it was to make install easier.Why are the lock nuts loosened up?
I bet you love that the creaking is gone! I have two arms left waiting to be redone when I get the front upper axle side JJs to do at the same time.
As Matt said. I loosen the jam nuts on the side I'm working on, which enables me to adjust them so the bolt comes right out. With the other side still installed and tightened it doesn't affect my pinion angle when so doing. Makes the whole job easier.Why are the lock nuts loosened up?
Yep, especially when the angle of the bolt isn't quite right. Adjust the arm until one side lines up, shove the bolt through, watch the other side and then adjust it to line the bolt up. Go a tad bit further, twist it back a smidge, bolt pops right through.As Matt said. I loosen the jam nuts on the side I'm working on, which enables me to adjust them so the bolt comes right out.

They marked one of mine as finished but I’m still waiting on shocks, they confirmed that I’m second in line though. It’s probably just the system automation when they print the shipping label or put that info in.I just received shipping confirmation on my Savvy corner blanks, rub rails, taillights and hard-core bumper upgrade (putting it on the rear bumper). I also received an email stating my order was finished. Unless I missed the email somwhere, I didn't receive confirmation on my receiver bumper. So I replied to their email letting them know.
