Re: Question_My Truck Drives Sideways??

mine did that i replaced track bar with a adjustable one. I also replaced the trailing arm bushings, rear springs due to them being pointed over to one side.
mine drives strait now. get a tape out and measure the wheel base side to side, if one side differs from the other it could be the trailing arm bushings.

Good to know! My bed sits a little off kilter as well. New springs are ready to go in. I'll definitely be measuring the wheel base.
