New cab bushings ???

Took out original bolts to start replacing and the two back bolts were bent at about 15-20 degrees. Any thoughts ????

15 to 20 degrees is a lot of deflection, sounds like a broadside job at one time, but then again if I remember those are about 7/16 to 1/2" bolts...pretty stout.

Had to be an accident at some point. As in something has hit the cab hard enough to bend them or hit the frame hard enough to bend them. Only other way is someone put used bent bolts in at some point. Who knows.

Makes sense but it would have to have been something that did not mess up the frame as it shows no type of damage as I have the motor, tranny and the bed off.

One of those thing that make you think whether to scratch your head or butt.
