Thanks for the feedback fellas, really appreciate it. I've worked out that the there is 13mm difference between the wheel to the passenger compared to the drivers side, fairly small offset from the other stories I've heard. That should make it a 7.5mm adjustment to square them up. I've had a bit a bad run getting these leaf's fitted, the initial place were I bought the package fitted the RH Leaf to the passenger side of the car (it does have a huge bloody sticker saying R/H and L/H on them? The second lot changed them over but still couldn't line them up without the offset so I thought I'd take it to the people who make them.I live close to the King Springs factory with a fitting bay on site. They believe they can sort this small difference out with Nolathane saddle bushing's, seeing the OEM ones look a bit worn. Good people at Kings who seemed genuinely concerned that the tollerance wasn't close to perfect. I'll get them to check that the pinion angle is set correctly while it's there (when I was there they mentioned that they do make a set of leafs that changes the roll angle of the diff slightly - might investigate this further, from what I've read here autos have some issue when lowered), thanks DW260 for the advice! If I can't get it centered I'll try your advice Pazzo and adjust the barckets (seems like a bigger job, but Ill do it if I can get it centered), thanks for that! 20 x 12's mate that is some big rubber, looking forward to seeing the pics!

So DW260, do you think this is the way Ford are aligning the diff's in FG utes and is normal? Could save me a lot of hassle if this is how they set up the diffs. I'm close to putting the OEM suspension in and taking it back to them. Cheers

I have come across the same issue with my 2012 MK2 FG XR6T Ute. The tail sharft is out by a long way. I had this car recently lowered and this issue became pretty obvious. I bought this car with 30,000 on the clock so I don't know the history before this time, but we cannot see any indication that the car has been put on a car aligner or been cut. The wheels are slightly out and closer to the passenger side so if I managed to slide the locating bolts in the diff over in the rubber saddles it would put this even further out. I'm getting it measured up next week. But I think that in the end the I'll be putting the OEM suspension in and taking it back to Ford.
