97 F350 rear end

Asked by Cowboy_1983 Sep 12, 2019 at 12:24 AM about the 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My wheels on the driver side rear
end came off the truck while
running about 65mph, pulling a
trailer full of ice boxes. I found the
break and hub asembly at a salvage
yard and put it back together, and
started using it. Apparently when
the hub hit the asphalt, it knocked
the drivers side out of alignment
3/4 of an inch. How do I strengthen
it back out? I've got 14 ft. On the
passenger side center front rim to
center back rim. 14 3/4ft on driver
side.

You may need to replace the rear springs or perhaps the spring mounts. Try to find what was bent/damaged.

It doesn't look to me like anything is bent. I've never messed with a rear end before, I'm a concrete hand. I quit working on cars and trucks when they started putting computers in themt.
