The drop-links should point straight down! At an angle they are bound to
'bottom' earlier. The drop links should be in front of the shock-absorber,
the plate they bolt to should be under the springs, the flange on the plate
should be in front of the U-bolts and pointing upwards. You could have the
plates/drop-links on the wrong sides so that the flange is behind the
U-links.
