My ass end is trying to pass my front end, hahaha! Big Grin

Seriously, my truck is kind of driving sideways and I was curious as to what is the cause of this. Obviously its an alignment issue but are we talking front end or back end?

If its the rear, how do you fix it? BFH?

I'd check the alignment pins on the spring pack and then the spring hanger points on the rear end. I can't remember if you have a locked rear or not, if so check the axles while your at it. If the pins are bad replace them. If it's the hangers and they aren't too bad a BFH should work. Oh yeah check the springs too at the eyes to see if the main leaf is broken.

It only took me three months to pull out a tape measure. Turns out my rear is cocked about a 1/2", hahaha.

On a side note, anyone know why the camber in the front wheels of our trucks goes all \/ when we make a sharp turn?

thats a camber issue with most trucks...at least thats what i notice.

Oh and maybe you should check to make sure your ubolts are tight or see if the springs are sitting where they should be on the pads.

Yep, I'd guess the retaining bolt in one of your spring packs that locates the axle is broke.

Also check the Leaf bushings. Mine where almost gone. There huge rubber bushings. Mine caused about 1/2" of movement.
