Tophat Placement

[Chilow]

I just installed some Dobinson springs on my Bilstein 5100. Noticed that the rubber piece on the tophat is not seated like the other side. Is this okay or do I need to remove everything and redo it? See include picture for reference.

It may not help but I just noticed today that my stock one looks very similar to that. I assumed it was due to settling, but if you just did yours I'm wondering if I need to get that addressed now.

Yea, I'm wondering if I need to redo it. I'm being lazy I don't hear any odd noises from it.

So I reassembled everything and made sure the rubber isolator was lined up and seated flat. However, once I tightened everything and lowered the lower control arm, the rubber isolator flips upward like in the picture. So far, no odd noises or vibrations.

Good to know, thanks for the followup!
