so i just install 35x12.5 tires and since they stick outside the fenders, i just noticed that the rear passenger wheel and tire sticks out a whole 1/2 inch more that the rear driver tire. an ideas on what the problem could be? is this normal? thanks. i have a 05 king cab xe
My truck is the same way, the axle is 1/2" off. I did some measuring and the spring perch's are the same distance from the backing plate on each side. So this means it is either the leaf springs are twisted, the leaf spring mounting points are tweaked, or the frame it tweaked.
1/2" Total Difference means it is only off center by 1/4" really. As long as everything looks good and is tight; no cracks seen, I would not worry about it at all. Many vehicles have such errors. They are insignificant/normal.
Thanks for all the responses. I measured the axle and it does seem to be off, not the wheels and tires. It might be the leaf springs like desertruner said but the good thing is that I don’t see anything damaged. In a sense….good to hear that I’m not the only one with this issue.
If you corner one way harder than the other, it is possible you have worn your bushings into a natural lean one way or the other....also, Titan Blue is correct in that it is only shifted 1/4 inch if it measures 1/2 difference.
My 06 titan has always being that way not sure why never had a problem but iam installing a set of rear traction bars soon and was going to try to center it better but not sure if I can yet
