    I just installed new leaf springs on my 2002 toyota tacoma. I took it in for the tire rotation, balance, etc and they said the rear is cocked. Everything seems to check out, can i just put some straps or a come along on the axel, loosen the u bolds and straiten it then tighten them down. The axel isn't bent, the problem started only after replacing the springs.

    The driver side is .69 + toe in and the passenger is .64 toe out, so leads me to believe it isn't bent or damaged, to close of numbers to be that, just sitting a bit skewed.

    Hey thanks, nobody seems to be any help here in SLC utah. IDK or shouldn't do that is all i get, such a pain. I figured i would just jack it up and set the truck frame on my stands, Get my old man to help me and just ratchet it front and back as needed. Should i just measure from the wheel well to the tire or is there a better set up. Im not looking for dead on rocket science, but i figure a whole degree out is not a good thing.
