    Hello all. Just did a tire rotation and balance. Noticed that when the truck was on the lift the rear axle doesn’t look straight and level. Is this normal?

    Thanks
    Angelo

    What does it look like on the ground? Can't really judge it in the air.

    My Tundra is not even when I jack it up from the rear diff.

    thanks for the replies! On the ground it looks just about even. Passenger side measures at 5.25” while driver side is 5”. I have kyb shocks with Dorman leaf springs. Shocks and leafs were put in about 70k ago. How uneven is your rear axle on the Tundra? Does it look like mine? Thanks !!

    .25" is pretty damn good some have 1" difference.

    I've never measured the difference on mine there is always the lean to one side.

    Yep. It is the panhard/track/rear stabilizer bar making it hang askew while on the lift. ✌️ No se alarmé.
