New to this and need a little help. Bought a 1974-BB conv and in my firts pass on what do I need to do right away came up with brakes. While I was replaceing the e-Brakes I noticed the rear spring attachment to the ditterential was broken(crack). When I got all of the parts out, I was looking at the rear struts and not sure of what I am seeing. I would expect to see symmetry between the left side and right side. Not the case----Both have a bend in them about 75% of the way from an end. The one on the driver side has the bend close to the differential and the strut on the passengers side has the bend near the wheel attachment. Both bends are uniform and look OK but I would have expected to see both with the bend at the same place. Either close to the differnetial of near the wheel. I found a good picture of a 80 vette and it had straight struts(differnet spring and differential attachment). Need help understanding what I have hear on my 1974. I can work on a picture if my description was not clear. Thanks
