2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Frame Alignment From Factory

[Hooty222]

Hey guys looking for some input. . I have measured my axles front to rear and have found that there is a difference. I have made sure that the ecentrics are adjusted the same. When I measure from the from the lower arm mount back to the point of the frame that the factory rivits together the measurments are off about a 1/4 inch. If i look up to the aligning "oval" that I believe they use before they rivit together it is off the suspected amount. The problem is only on the "right" side. Anyway the reason I am looking here is a annoying pull to the right (slightly) still requiring my hand on the wheel. My thoughts are the truck is rear axle steering (dog legging, crabbing, etc) thus giving my pull to the right... ... . I am a A&P Mech. but that isn't helping me with this one. AND THE ALIGNING SHOP MADE MY ECENTRICS OPOSITE ON THE FRONT TO MAKE IT RIGHT... ... ..... THATS CRAP WORK.

The eccentrics on the front axle don't necessarily sit at the same value - they need to be set to provide the proper caster.
