Subject: Rear axle offset by .5"
IP: Logged

Message:
Looking from the back, or above, my rear axle appears to be off to the right by about .5". Driving a 2001 qc 4.7 2wd auto with t&h group. Alignment feels perfect when driving, and tires don't appear to be showing any flaring, or other alignment problems. Is this normal? Looks rather odd.

Maybe the bed of your truck is off 1/2 an inch. A week after I bought mine I just looked out the side mirror and noticed the bed was a little crooked. Took it back and had it fixed the same day.

How did you spot that the bed was crooked? It looks straight at the cab? I would love to think that is it, but when I measured the distance from the drum to the frame, it too is off 1/2 inch.
