Looking at where the axle meets the bottom spring the axle is at the rear of the spring. all the rest of the springs and axles mounts are centered. I am thing axle shifted back and is twisted out.
Do you think loosing the shackle and pulling axle forward to same as the other side in distance apart and centered on spring.
Looking for suggestions
Thanks

We had a similar problem only the curbside inside tire wear was extreme. Driver side less extreme but still excessive. The hangers were not mounted on the frame equidistant form side to side. The repair was cutting the front and rear hangers, re welding them on at the exact intervals to have the suspension square on then frame. So far - so good ! I dont know for sure but a spring shackle nut that is “hand-tight” does not sound right to me. (40-50 ft lbs torque is what I have heard).
