    I purchased four Omix Ada replacement hangers, but they seem to be horrible quality with crooked bolt and bushing holes. Has anyone installed these on their jeep? I guess I'm wondering if they should be slightly tilted or if I need to do some surgery on this to have aligned axles.

    When I put the new spring hangers on mine, I leveled the frame both ways and had a piece of tubing that was a tight fit in the bushings. The tubing was long enough to connect two hangers together. Then I was able to level the new spring hangers to the frame and make sure everything was square.

    The tubing is an excellent idea. Can you explain the leveling a little more? I'm having trouble picturing exactly what you mean

    I ordered another set of them. Out of 4, there was that looked to be made by a different manufacturer and was straight and true. The others were way off, I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
