So I'm doing a little work to my rears arms and I noticed one hangs a little lower then the other. I started by leveling my torsion tube have both my trailing arms on stops for full droop both my axles are at same angle and when I measure from floor to center of stub axle the about 1-1/4 different. I can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas? Just that guy |

Try measuring to a point on frame above stubs and see if it's the same. "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."--Abraham Lincoln |

Is the floor level? Probably not 1 1/4 off but could be some of it. Also, if you are measuring to the outside center of the stub axle, check to the center on the inside, the arm could be bent pointing the stub down at the floor, or up. If these are stock arms that have been braced, the welding could have drawn them. |

You said your torsion was level ,check to see if your transmission is center between your stub axles with the raised so the axles are flat. Also put a level vertically on the side of the transmission cv flanges to see if the trans is level |
