Had my stock shackles and bushings replaced, now angle of front shackles don't match. Should they? I never even noticed it before, but I didn't specifically look. Original owner, stock suspension.
 
Go hit a few bumps and they should be good to go. Its not uncommon to be slightly different. Also make sure they are not cranked down to tight preventing movement.
 
bet they were over tightened on one side

The hallmark shortcoming of the fixed-gusset shackle. That's why the ones I make are adjustable.
