Why does the T-Bar have a slot and not holes like most shocks ? I own a 71 Chevelle and wish to get QA1 TS801 but have notice that the T-Bar has a slot and instead of holes like my old shocks. Also the hardware that comes with these shocks are the upper bolts and are 9/16" and my car has 1/2". With QA1 having slots instead of holes would it be more likely for the shock to move?
