coil touching frame in the rear

[MSFTMatt]

It appears that on my drivers' side the coil is all but touching the frame with truck on the ground. On the passenger side in can easily slip a few fingers between the coil and the frame with room to spare. I have a @Clayton Off Road adjustable rear track bar. Do I just need to adjust my track bar to bring my axle more to the passenger side?

Sounds like something is tweaked and your axle isn't centered. I'd schedule with a good alignment shop or off road shop with a laser alignment rack and experience with axle swaps and lift kits.

Definately going to get into the shop and get it aligned but was wondering if I can adjust the track bar in the meantime.

Measure from the tire to the frame on both sides. See if those numbers are the same.. if they aren't, adjust the trackbar.

I'm not an expert in getting alignment right at home, but I'd guess if the track bar needs adjusting, the upper and lower control arms probably need to be adjusted too.

Right on, thank you. I'll see what I've got.

Yes definitely just need to get the axle centered better! You can even measure the wheel poke on both the driver and passenger side to verify, but should be an easy fix. Give us a call if you have any issues at all!

I’m glad you posted this, I also have the Clayton and just checked mine. I’m about 3/8 off center as well same issue as you. So I should just shorten the track bar by 3/16 if my math is correct.

Saw this post from a few years ago that I thought seemed a legit way to go about fixing it. Sorry for crappy photo, was multi tasking this topic in a computer
