You should be able to get to all the attachment points from under the vehicle, but the tub liner just bolts in at the sides and screws the the floor. you can also measure from the inside of the tyre (or the back of the disc) to the rail on either side of the car to determine if your rear axle's off centre.If the tub's been damaged and poorly repaired it could be out of square. They don't have much support in them when they're not attached to the vehicle.

Mark it, measure it then re-tighten the u-bolts and you're away. Check If your tailshaft is running straight with a spirit level and a straight edge.

I've had a lower shock mount on a BA ute move after hitting a lump of concrete. That was enough to pull the diff across. We unbolted everything, replaced the mount and squared everything up no worries Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81082-rear-wheel-passenger-side-sits-out-more-then-driver-side/page/2/#findComment-1287716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
