Shocks scare
I was scared to see that the shocks supports/attachment on the top of the wheel well are not lined up.
 I was afraid they got messed up because of driving with the spacers for 200 miles.... But, don't worry! I figured out they are designed to move! Unbelievable and unseen(by me) before. I guess this is great engineering  - still scared the s*** out of me initially. So, if the wheels are turned, they look like in the pictures below. If they are straight, they level up.

 I'll have to see if mine do that tomorrow, but it doesn't seem like it should do that.

This is the way the struts and their mounts in Zeta platform vehicles function. They move and change in angle/position as the wheel is turned and/or stress applied to the front. They're meant to do so.
If the strut mounts go bad or collapse far beyond normal tolerances, you will see them stick up all the time and have front end alignment issues. |
