Rear axle shit cause pull?

My rear axle isn’t center and I am trying to chase down a pull to the passenger side while driving.

My rear axle is off center towards passenger side probably 1/2 or so. Maybe 3/4.

Thoughts? Adjustable track bar?

Already replaced front track bar

Thanks!

An axle shift will NOT cause a pull. What tires are you running?

be the issue.

It's entirely possible that your tires could be the cause of it. I don't have any radial pull with my 37" STT Pros but then, I've run lots of tires that have had a pull one way or the other but only in a specific size. For instance, I had strong radial pull to the left with 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers but hardly any if at all in a 40".

Have you checked your tire pressure to make sure they're all the same?

Yeah I was thinking that as well. I have always run all terrains in the past. I do have the mopar lift and there is some spring bow. Perhaps that could be pushing the axle in a certain direction?

Tires are aired the same. Mostly

Nope, not likely. At least, I've never seen anything like that cause a pull or a drift. Radial pull is very common especially with mud terrain tires. Back in the day, a bent end forging causing a greater degree of camber could have caused a pull as well but the JL front axle has been beefed up quite a bit and I doubt that is the cause.

Have you considered road crown pull? My JK loves to pull right on some roads, and if I cross to the opposite side while passing (e.g. two lane road), then it then pulls left.

Yeah road crown probably plays a part in it. As well as the mud tires. I’ll have to find somewhere where I can try the other side of the road.

I have a right pull as well. I have 37 stt pros. Im checking my tire pressure today to make sure that is not it but I thought I needed adjustable lower control arms? We do have a pretty bad road crown as well but I've tested it on different parts of the state and it seems its the jeep. Any ideas if my issue could be that I need adjustable controls arms to do a realignment?

Yes this is what I’ve had in the past radial pull.
