The wheelbase is actually different. It doesn't cause any tire wear, the only thing is it pulls to the right. Not excessively, but if you let go of the steering wheel on a flat road it will drift to the ditch. I've seen on CK5 where they redrill spring packs or perches and plates to move the entire axle forward. Was going to try that on one side but that won't work, need the stabilizer. Had several shops look at it, even paid one who said they straightened the frame but front to back measurements wheel to wheel is 1 inch less on the passenger side. Guess it's something I'll have to live with. Long trips, such as to Arkansas it gets tiring.
