GT4/308 Suspension problem/ possible failure

I was finishing up my bumper adjustments and doing all the fluid changes when I came across something troubling. I rebuilt my rear suspension last year and was wiping it down and checking it out, when I discovered the lower shock mount bolt nylock nut deformed on the drivers side. The passengers side was simmilar but not as bad. When I rebuilt the suspension I used all factory parts including new lower shock mount bolts. It seems the bolts on extreme upward travel are hittng the bottom of the upper control arm... The book says this is the way they go but on examination it seems as if there is more room aft so I switched the bolts around. Only the nylock part of the nut was defromed with no damage to the bolt. Actually the bolt was so short that I actually left of the split washer as the fender washer and split washer as per the book left the nut not completely threaded. After I do some spirited drives I will check the condition and report back. There is a place on the PCH where there are some swooping bumps where I know the shocks are in there top most position, I just thought that that is what the shock bumpers are there for???? Any comments

Thanks Guys,

I just ordered the correct nuts, which by the way are shorter from FOA. but here is my question. If I use a shorter (non-nylock) nut and split washer and fender washer as in the book, the whole assembly will stick out about as far as the set-up I had that got smashed. Only the nylock part was damaged and the nut came off easily. I am afraid that if I use the correct arrangement that it will smash the nut and or if I dont use the fender washer and split washer that it will damage the threads of the bolt making it near impossible to remove. I am thinking of putting the fender washer on the rear head side of the bolt, re-positioning it correctly and using the factory split washer and nut. I am thinking this will give it somemore room. The control arm was not seriously damaged, you can see in the picture above that it just knocked some paint off and put a small ding in it, so I imagine that there is not much room there on either side. When the suspension is down it is hard to believe that either side would hit but as it is loaded the pieces come closer together.
