Do stock xj's have off center rearends? My axle is shifted to one side more then the other. It seem by looki g at it if I were to move the axle to center it I would be hitting the exhaust with the drive shaft.
I had the spring perches re welded to adjust the yoke angle after lifting the jeep and wondered if that was the cause for the shift in the rearend?
Any info would be great, Thanks

I rechecked them and they were nice and tight, even torqued them down more.
One tire sticks out more then the other, slightly more to the driver side.
I'm pretty sure I have a stock 8.25
I took it to a different place today and had them align the front and had them look at the rear also. They were able to get it to more a little but not much. Also they said that as little of a shift as it has it wouldn't effect much. Is this true?
I also have another question.
When I life the jeep I got a jks adjustable track bar and put it in. It seems ever since I have put that in I get the dreaded Death Wobble! I have tried retightening everything and still get it when I hit a bump. The track bar has a jonny joint and I believe that's where the problem lies. Is this just a **** design or can you adjust them at all?
