Default should i be worried?

well im pretty new and ive search the forums..
here is my problem..today i installed my wheel spacers..set the jeep down to see the difference and there was!!! one of the wheels was even with the others ones.. take a look.





as you can see one of them is 3/4 inch and the other is almost 2 inchs?? are they suppost to be like that? also i notice this


the jeep is lump sided? and the sway bar links are mounted every other way!..not sure if i should bring it in and have them replace both my rear control arms to see if its even or what to do? the jeep is still under warranty.

any thoughts of what i should do would be great! thanks in advance

Probably need to center your axle with an adjustable track bar.

Yeah Get an Adj Track bar and shift it over 1/2 of an inch and call it a day.

Its only off centered. Adjustable track bar is the answer. Other posts are correct.

here is another one or 2 of both sides from a far





so a adjustable track bar will do the trick? i dont need to bring the jeep into the dealer and have them get new ones..they just look bent to me.. like the old owner did a 360 and bent one of the control arms or something

one more thing look at the sway bar links left and right are they suppost to be mounted like that both facing the same way?

That shift may also be showing because the axle is at full droop. Check it on the ground with wheels and tires on and let us know?

I was going to post this. With the axle drooped all the way, the track bar will be pulling it to one side a bit.

In his first post he stated that he set the jeep down to measure.

yeah i notice that the track bar was pulling on the rear dif assembly. i have more pictures on the other camra i should post up..even when we pushed the left rotor up with a jack to straighten it..the control arms was still uneven..

ill have to crawl underneath tomorrow and take more pictures.
