can the rear end (diff carrier/axles/wheels) be adjusted side to side?

to shift the entire thing left or right, wheels and all?

 

Yes...A little...but why??

 

i figured as much, thanks.

yeah i was just curious about the relationship of adjustment of the rear, vs. the bed, vs. the cab.

 

Check your U-bolts and make sure the leaf springs are on the spring perches. They shoudn't shift at all aside from normal suspension movement.

 

Anythign can be moved with a big enough hammer

but not really.

 

also check for a broken or bent centering pin.....happened to me.

 

Still flipping out over your bed being uneven huh?

 

yeah i was thinking if i tail slid hard enough into a curb i could probably move it over a bit. easier than a hammer IMO.

haha, nah i'm actually fine with it because i've studied other trucks that have the same deal, HOWEVER...

what confuses me is, ok...

the bed is off to the passenger side a bit vs. the cab. but passenger mud flap outer edge is closer to the outer plane of the passenger side tire than on the other side.

so that means if i were to correct the bed vs. the cab, then the wheels would be even more off vs. the bed sides/flaps!

i'd think the constant should be the cab, right? so if the bed can be adjusted, i was thinking maybe the rear can be adjusted, but apparently is can't to the degree where it would fix this.

but srsly, it's more of a curious thing than a worry - i've spent quite a bit of time looking like a truck stalker the past couple weeks, standing behind trucks and eyeing shit up. i was even doing it at the phila int'l auto show, haha.

 

Take mudflaps off. Problem solved.
