Rear Shock Mount replacement

[gthostface]

I hit a pothole at 55mph and cracked my driver front and back rims and tires, upon my own inspection i had cracked the shock mount on the rear driver back. I recently replaced it with an aftermarket shock mount, but my car seems to be still leaning a bit. I dont have any knocking while driving, but am concerned with the leaning that this could potentially be a problem with the shock mount not being correct, or if i did not install all the proper things (if anything fell off while i hit the pothole). Any recommendations? This is the new one i just put on. This is a 2015 mustang premium GT convertible .

The spring supports the car, not the shock. I'd look in the spring cup and see if a coil broke or something in the subframe mount got messed up.

What ice445 said. You need to do a very thorough inspection of the entire suspension system front and rear. From the sound of it my bet is that you have a few bent or broken parts. One of the weakest links in the system are the roll bar end links. Take a 6" rule to the fronts and see if they are straight. The rears are very short and less susceptible to bending, but can.

The photo of the rear shock mount looks a bit out of whack. I believe that the shock should be much closer to perpendicular to the mount. Good luck with the inspection.
