rearend out of alignment

[jiggen01]

Im working on a 77 and ive got the body off the frame and ive noticed the rear is sitting more forward on oneside, i took some measurments and the passenger side is and inch closer to the front than the driverside is, but i have no clue whats causing it?

Are any bolts broken? Maybe center bolt (spring)?

Has the vehicle ever been in an accident and never repaired?

Hi Jig.., welcome..!

You need to come forward with a lot more info. Otherwise, we just have to ask you a bunch of Questions...& that doesn't help.

Everything you know about your rig., especially the suspension as it now is.!

Stock, lifted, how much, what brand, who did it..? etc.

Are both springs matching/facing the right direction.?

Help us help you... >< <'>

Fill-in your info./signature pages. /

(see mine below)

not sure if it was ever in an accident, stock suspension still. it was sitting on 3 inch body lift and has 33" mickeys, no bolts appear broken and im assuming both springs are mathcing they're both rusted

Recheck your measurement. It should be taken from the center of the front spindle, ( with wheels straight ahead) to the center of the rear hub.

Some times measurments taken to the frame are not equal side to side, or the frame could be twisted. ( not uncommon if it was driven hard offroad.)

An inch off would make the thing "dog walk" pretty bad!

To be absolutly sure take it to an alignment shop and ask for a "****** alignment check" Tell them of your measurment concernes, and ask to get a printout.

Good luck

the center bolts dont have nuts on them! this could be the problem
