Seriously, you can't see a 1/4" difference? You have perspective when looking straight down because of the tread, even looking from the front, you have perspective - sight up from the tire.You got yourself a fancy set of calibrated eyeballs?
I put the Rubicon springs under the front and saw right away something wasn't right. I look at the left, then the right, then the left again - hmmm, only 1" and that much shift? Sure enough..... a straight edge and measure over and it was 1/4" more on the left than the right.
Yeah, you can see 1/4" difference.
His is off 1/4" and I could see it from his photos. I did question whether his angle was the same on both sides as far as camera angle as if you are off a little, it skews it, but yes, you can see 1/4" difference pretty easily.
It bugs me because the more off-center the front axle is, the more angle there is on the control arm bushings and uneven push, and every bump ,means the axle moves more than it would normally due to the arc swing of the track bar.
If I do a lift on my next one, it will have an adjustable track bar. (that would also put the steering wheel back in center to some extent)
