[QUOTE="1stSFG, post: 727498, member: 6223"] No pictures. No the ubolts nor the leafs have been replaced or loosened in the past. The ubolts look to be sitting evenly on the top spring on both sides. The measurement as I figured from center cap to center cap on both sides (as best I could do) was even per say. I'll likely be replacing the leaf springs the last week of July. Thanks Pirate. I really don't see how the housing could be bent if I'm not pissing gear oil somewhere? Or getting some pretty obvious abnormal noises or tracking issues that would be noticeable in the tire wear? The only visual damage was the r/r bumper corner was folded up into the lower bed body and the exhaust tip being minutely bent. The r/r wheel has a pencil thin "scratch" across it, and the r/r fender flair was badly scratched. Basically what happened is I was passing the slug in the passing lane and he decided he didn't want me to pass him. As I was merging into the "slow lane" his front left fender drove up under my r/r wheel lifting my ass up. As it came up off the ground it started to turn me hard right. I counter steered and accelerated and actually left smoked rubber on his hood as my truck came correct as he braked. There was no hard crash or impact of any kind. I was doing about 50 at the time of impact. Are there any definitive ways to diagnose the discrepancies of the rear toe numbers? [/QUOTE]
