Axle offset to the right...?

Guys,

The rear axle seems to have crept to the right - the right wheel sticks out a bit while the left is a little tucked in. With speed, the vehicle seems to fishtail, especially once I lift off of the accelerator. I just had the leaf bushings replaced and did the wheel alignment. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Shady

This stance is pretty normal. I doubt it's what's causing the fishtailing.

If you do a four wheel alignment, it will tell you which way the rear axle is pointing.

My truck is like that, and probably at least half of the other Typhoons that I know of are too. I don't think it's actually the axle, but the body itself is offset.

Mine is off too.
About a 1/4" to the drivers side.

I actually have spacers on the rears for my Zo6 wheels and am considering running a 1.5 spacer on one side and a 1.25 on the other to even it out.

But my major concern is what's causing the fishtailing - especially immediately after I lift off the throttle! Any probable causes?

Is there any adjustment in our body mounts? Could they just be loosened, straighten the body out on the wheels, then re-tighten?
