[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15655253, member: 166576"] Thats the thing about a solid axle, it should definitely not be like that. From the factory and even with upgraded boxed lower control arms, there is no wheel base adjustment available. The adjustable panhard rod centers the rear axle under the body. Assuming both lower control arms are in good condition and equal length (undamaged), the thrust angle should be zero when centered and wheel base even and in spec. Id say that the passenger control arm has the blown bushing, given the clunk and visual cue of its alignment. Now, the not so fun theory. Its entirely *POSSIBLE* that the prior owner ran the car hard and bent the rear axle housing. High RPM clutch dumps at the track on drag slicks or radials can do that kind of damage. *IF* this were the case, youd have a higher chance of your alignment being off, abnormal pulling and generally terrible handling in addition to noise. I would have both rear lower control arms removed and inspected as a starting point. I have a feeling thats your issue right there. If they are pulled and they look fine, you'll need to have a professional inspect for rear end damage. [/QUOTE]
