What happens if aal short is facing rear?

Ive been trying to track down an alignment issue, wondering if my AAL is backwards.

anyone able to measure their HS 3 aal?

im hoping tomorrow i have time to take it apart and look, but im wondering what issues this could cause.

 

Welp, nevermind. I was able to measure it easily. Ive def got short side facing forward.

alignment shop is telling me the rear end is out of alignment somehow by half an inch.

 

What ever came of this? What did you discover and what was the fix?

 

I did tons of research, no real “fix”. Others had the issue. So, i took my time and went through my rear end. Made sure the leafs were in order, shims were good, dropped the u bolts and retorqued them. Everything checked out. There really isnt a way to screw it up, the leaf packs use a centering pin to position the rear axle.

 

If you're having problems, measure to see if the rear end is square in the chassis.
