rear axle location

[DragPack69 0]

Guys, I seem to have an axle location problem, maybe someone here can chime in.

 

The Axle is 5/8 inch too far to the left (DR side)

Everything is located underneath (frame/sheetmetal) the spring perches seem to ber correct also.

Could someone measure their car from vertically the edge of the quarter

(I used a level reading level vertically) to the axle flange and see if theirs is off?

I put larger tires on and now I find this problem.

 

Thanks for the help.

um, does it matter if someone else measures and finds their's is off too? I would say that that finding 1/4" or so is not uncommon. On back halfed cars I have seen an inch from some hack fabricator that couldnt read a tape measure. Has the car had quarters, frame rails, etc. replaced?

 

I would measure diagonals from say the spring perch to like the front lower control arms or something. You may find you have a thrust angle and caster problem as well on an alignment machine. Also measure the springs themselves from the center pin to the front pivot.

No, everything is original as far as shetmetalI had an alignment done and they didn`t say anything was out of spec or abnormal.

Thanks for the reply Fordrevhead, I`ll do a lttle more measuring and pm you.
