01 2500 Dana 70 rear wheel lean?
 
Hey guys my 01 2500 Dana 70 right rear wheel seems to have a slight lean in just put new bearings in and it still seems to lean a little bit any suggestions?:argh:

Is the wheel bent?

I don't think so because it always leans in on the top it never changes :dang:

Recheck those bearings, for size and clearance.

Does it seem to have a slight lean or does it definitely have a camber issue? Is the tire wearing unevenly?

Do you think the bearings would cause that? Or could it be the axle flange bent throwing everything else off?

The beard..I haven't had a chance to put it on our alignment rack yet but when you step back and look at the truck it seems by the naked eye the wheels leans in on the top I checked the tire the other day for uneven wear but they are with in 1/32 of eachother :ouch:

Likely axle tube. Damaged bearing would show in a typical bearing diag. If the bearing is good that leaves axle tube.

Do you think there would be a way to straighten it I can't even find a rear end around here only place I could find one with my set up is eBay with disc brakes and it's 1800 dollars

Have you pulled the hub and checked for damage or wear issues? There are companies that will repair it but it'll likely be as much as a junk yard part if not more. I wouldn't just go buy a axle without knowing what's wrong with this one. We can all recommend item after item but until it's torn down its all guesses.

Well a local shop did my bearings and he said that he didn't notice anything strange when he was in there he also looked at it and didn't think the lean was anything to worry about do you think the axle would cause this problem I'm just not good at rear ends and I'm wondering if maybe the hub or axle has a problem it's hard for me to believe that tube is bent but hell idk
