Whats up guys? Having some trouble with my '84 solid front axle p/u pulling to the right. Everything under there is tight, however, the passenger side wheel/tire is about an inch farther forward than the driver side... wtf? If the the pins on the leaf springs are in the holes in the axel all should square up, right? Help! I'm getting tired of fighting my truck!

 

One more thing; I've got BFG 33/10.5 KO's on the truck. I could not find any p.s.i. on the tire to inflate them to. Whats a good pressure to inflate them to just for running around town. That could be some of the problem with the pull to the right...
Thanks

 

There could be a broken center pin on one of the leaf packs causing the axle to shift even though every thing is "tight". What were you measuring off? (Could the frame be bent or pushed in on one side?) Also are the tires the same pressure? Just throwing out ideas...

 

I checked the pins, front and back. No luck. No bends in the frame. It is a "Rough Country" lift, so it is a pretty cheap lift... Maybe I'll just pull it out and start again! LOL!

 

treyota, You have heard of the solid axles pulling Right ? There are threads I have read that report that . Mine also is pulling and thought it was a somewhat common thing . from the axle rolling to a certain effect ? but Also I have read brakes sticking and I am thinking my left is . Just food for thought.

could you have put on of the leaf packs on backwards when you did the lift?

 

I don't think I could have done that... You got me wondering now though... That would explain why the passenger side is forward. We just got 5" of snow and freezing rain, I'll measure it tomorrow. lol!
