Rear wheel alignment was created by sflesch94
Hi Guys,
I am mounting and trying to check alignment on my rear wheel. I am doing this by measuring from the swing arm pivot to the rear axle center to center on each side. Once I get these dimensions setup I am finding the axle is in a different position on each side of the swing arm, as if the swing arm itself is not equal length on each side. This is an old CalFab swing arm that the previous owner installed. Has anyone ever seen this before, and is it a big concern?

Is your chain/wheel line alignment good?

Looks pretty good to me, to be honest if your swing arm pivot to axle measurements are equal I wouldn't loose sleep over the axle position in the chain adjusters (especially an aftermarket swingarm - even if it is a really good one) as they don't look symmetrical from the pictures
