I took the shock of my thing passenger front, the replacement shock won't fit, does the thing shock mount have a spacer made on it, or is the shock spacer rusted on it?

This has been on here before. The old shock bushing gets stuck on the lower control arm. If you look at the old shock you will see what I mean. Sometimes heat will get it off, liquid wrench, and I have had to cut with a die grinder to get these off.
