Awright guys? put on my new shocks last nite but for some reason the shocks are hitting the arm???

I have spaced it out with washers but surely i shouldn't have to do this????

Any advice lads??? Thanks.

On my car the shocker isn't pushed out of line by more than a couple off mm, so it doesn't concern me.

Taking a grinder to the arm seems like a good solution to me
