I am all ready to install these new KYB shock absorbers in my car and have a few questions. I started on the back and it just doesn’t seem right. The KYB is the same size/shape as the bilsteins I took out but the bolts the KYB came with are where I have a question. I attached a few pictures. First I think it’s weird how the one end sticks out so much and if I add a washer to the nut side it doesn’t even have enough threads peaking through to catch and tighten down. The part number for the rear KYB are 343157 and front are 343127. Did I buy the wrong ones or am I just crazy?

that would be because you have the bolt in the axle flange bacwards
 
Make sure you compare the fastener threads when you do the lowers on the front.
