Axle sits to the right?
Not sure how this happened or how to take care of it. Recently bought this and noticed this today.

Re: Axle sits to the right?
It's about an inch and a half total as measured from the frame rail to the wheel.

Get an adjustable panhard bar and dial it in

Re: Axle sits to the right?
Front shouldn't be off that far.
Need to check body bushings, body to frame alignment, & then possibly check to make sure the frame is not tweaked.

Re: Axle sits to the right?
If the cab is on the frame crooked then that can cause the front end sheet metal (the "doghouse") to shoot off to one side. One way to tell is if the gap between the fender and the bumper (which is attached directly to the frame) is different from side to side.
You might be able to true everything up by loosening the fenders and rad support to frame, and scooting it over. K

Re: Axle sits to the right?
id measure both sides from spindle to frame and see if theres a difference. like they are saying, the fenders might be a lil off.

Re: Axle sits to the right?
That's basically the measurement that I took. I went from the frame rail to the wheel mounting surface. It's about an inch and a half different. The sheet metal all fits good and doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked- original fenders etc too.

Re: Axle sits to the right?
Did you check to make sure the wheels are the same width and backspacing?
