Default Endlinks and Shock body

Is this normal that the endlink is touching the shock body?

Looks like could be endlink in backwards? Side with grease fitting should be on opposite side, away from shock?

Is it possible that the shock is backwards? The buddyclub N+ logo is facing towards the engine.

Those aren't OEM endlinks. I think OEM should clear, but clearance issues aren't surprising given the size of those aftermarket ones.

also, it looks like the endlink might be bent from hitting the shock, so you might take a closer look and see if you need entirely new endlinks to begin with.

it looks like it could possibly be an aftermarket sway bar that shifted too far towards this side. If not aftermarket, then either the end links are too bulky and/or the bulky BC forks aren't helping clearance issues either. But there should be plenty of clearance between the shock body and end link so there's definitely a problem here.

OEM endlinks don't have grease fittings.
