I'm running a set of 255 45 17's on the back of my 66 with 4.75 of backspacing. The driver side Q/P was replaced at some time and now has less tolerance than the passenger side. The tire rubs the driver side but, the pass. side has plenty of room, over 1" of clearance.
This got me to wondering. The Q/Ps are only maybe 1/4" different max. I started to measure things with a tape measure and sure enough the rearend is 3/4" off center to the drivers side. I measured using the housing ends and the frame rails.
I installed the springs correctly, Why would it be out of center? The car hasn't been wrecked in the back(that I can tell, but it did have a Q/P replaced).
How do I correct this problem? I have tried loosening and the bolts and letting the susp. hang but, to get it centered I need to actually force the housing over and then it goes right back to being out of center when I let go. I don't think it's the leafs as this is the 3rd set.
