This is an almost exact replacement for the OEM. The holes are parallel and the [rubber] boot fits nicely. I also replaced the leaf springs and had a slight squeak for a few miles but it's gone now. LUBRICATE EVERYTHING while assembling, I'm sure you'll have to struggle with screws to get them out so LUBRICATE the threads as well. They're a lot cheaper than the actual factory authorized replacement, so buy them instead, they're just as good.
