    It doesn't need to be dead center...but you probably want to have the alignment checked. IDK what the "normal" specs for the 1st gens are...but they should be able to adjust the caster to fix that.

    So, both sides are scrubbing the mudflaps?

    Are you using the same 'measurement' points?
    In the picture, you're measuring 2" down below the body line of the truck on the mudflap. I'd definately use a body line instead of the flexible mudflap (sorry, first thing I saw in the picture)
