Yes, they hit off-center . . . but do they work?
The reason they hit off center is because your axle isn't going straight up and down evenly. One wheel goes up while the other goes down. The axle is twisting and your bumpstop is moving in almost an arc when the axle does so.
Seems like, if it works, it's fine as it is, even if it looks a little awkward. But if you want it to hit flat, you're going to have to adjust/lean your bumpstops to match the angle of your axle at full flex.
I think.

But I would still like a stiffer set of bump stops. Ill ask question again. Are aftermarket poly bump stops stiffer than stock?
