What's weird is that it sits flat when I assemble it "empty" with no bladder and top plastic mount... but when assembled for real, it's tilted. Of course, that shock leaks. The delta is about half a millimeter from one side of the shock body to the other.

Any suggestions? I'm really puzzled on this one

Thanks
