In a sedan the cradle can be slightly re aligned.

The Utes have no panhard rod, so when lowered they shift across.

They don't need one.

what makes them (utes) shift across? pics?

Misalignment from the get go. It just looks more obvious once lowered

anyone noticed when these utes are lowered they seem to be a lil bit uneasy in the back end?? mine is sometimes when hitting potholes but I can throw it hard into a corner and it just turns.. weird.. only since it was lowered

Measure the space between the back of the cab and front of the tub to determine if it's sittng on the rails straight. 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.

If you get the back up on chassis stands or a hoist, loosen the u-bolts and move the diff across the car until its centred. 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.

Depends how far out of whack everything is. 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
