Just got my Dub "Dirty Dog" 22x10.5 and one side tucks and the other side sticks out about 1/2". Is there any way to adjust the rear x-member or the body itself to "clock" the body and align everything back up?
Thanks!

(Didn't know what exactly to search for on this issue...)

Sounds like the wheels have a different offset. Have you measured them?

Same offset, same problem with 2 different types of wheels, 1st set both stuck out however the passenger more than the driver, new set driver is tucked, passenger sticks out about 3/8 of an inch.

I'd bet that if you put the stockers back on and measure them, that they'd come out downright close to even.

Moving around major components of the car to make up for the wrong aftermarket parts seems kinda wrong somehow. If there was a half inch of offset in there somewhere, I'd really like to see how you did it - that would take a major hit to move something essentially unmoveable that far.

Got Pics?

hemiwagn and I have looked both of our Magnums and found this as well. I don't recall it being that much, but there was a slight bit more on one side than the other.

There may be some room to adjust it out, but then you will need a rear wheel alignment again.

did you have your rear sway bar replaced? i did mine and found the same thing. you have to loosen up your rear sub frame and push that thing over a little. and you really should get a four wheel alignment after!!
