Hi

The factory used rubber "dogbone" mounts. I don't imagine it was for anti vibration reasons, maybe just to allow for tolerances.

The only reasons I can think of for more deliberate "levelling" is either to better align the filler neck or to allow for some twist in the chassis.

Once the car is in motion the fuel sloshes all over the place, so pointless trying to get that level.
