Alright guys, I have a problem. Not a big one, but it bothers me. My driver side rear wheel is closer to the outside of the fender well than the passenger side. The passenger side is kinda sunk in a little bit. Is there any easy way to fix this. Can I get the rearend aligned?

you cant align a SRA.?

useually if a sold rear axle (sra) vehicle is out alignment something is bent, ie axle tube, axle, or more then likely control arms might be bent OR, bushings could be damaged. good idea to have it checked and see whats going on at a good alignment shop

technically no it can't be aligned. but it may have been in an accident and tweeked the the rear unibody. you might take it to a body shop and have them ck the frame for trueness. if all is straight get wheel spacer to push the wheel out to match the other side

yes i guess i should have said it like this NO it cant be adjusted with oe suspension parts BUT if you tell tehm to get measurements and put the alignment heads on there they can tell you what way the axle is kicked and try to help you with where the problem lies if its not ovbious

Well I had a carfax on it and it was clean so, it hasnt been in any accidents, unless it was and it just wasnt claimed on insurance. But alright ill take it down to a shop and have them look at it and see if they can tell me whats wrong. Thanks a lot guys.

yeah that's what i told myself, until i found out the LR subframe was pushed in... X2 on the alignment check..
See if the shop can give you a printout of your alignment. I know ours can, Measurements like "Thrust Angle" (The angle
of the rear wheels in relation to the fronts) should be as close to "0" as possible. judging by your description, that
would probably be knocked out of wack.. Also "Toe" and "Camber" on a solid axle, although non-adjustable, should be both
as close to "0" and if not, very similar measurements.
