Default Rear spring mnt.. bent in

I was wondering if anybody had some ideas how to fix a bent in rear spring mount. The top flat piece of the mount where the car sits on the rubber and spring is bent in like someone took a sliding hammer to it, so therefore my car is squating to that side and slicing the tire hard on bumps and launches. Thanks

Never even heard of such a thing can you get a picture of the area?

If the car is leaning to the passenger side of the car during a launch this is caused by other forces at work.....

Uncorrected collision damage from days gone by, perhaps?

Im going to college in another state so im not at home at my shop. And i go to school all day and the shop keeps screwing me so i cant get it up in there. You have to have the spring and rubber off to see it. Thats what the mechanic told me. He thinks he can just shim it with a piece of the old rubber that he would cut off.
