Default Rear spring - 31 Tudor

How far from the center point of the rear spring are the u-bolts supposed to be? It appears that on my car they are quite close together and it just doesn't look right. I have no idea if it matters, but it would be nice to know, since I am trying to fix everything else...even if it isn't broken.

Aren't there holes in the cross member which dictate where the u bolts go? They are quite close together.

How do you say you are sorry for posting such a stupid question? Should have checked it out before trying to solve a problem that does not exists!
