Car sits lower on pass rear...think I might have a warped axle (*PICS*)
Here lately turns to the right would create a one wheel spin (passenger tire). The other day I turned right and got on the gas pretty good and something went wrong in my rearend. The car sits lower at the passenger rear wheel and the rear wheel looks like its crooked. It still rolls but from 10mph+ all it does is thump thump thump thump. Do I have a bent axle shaft or could it be something more serious? I was thinking of purchasing a complete used Rear-end right after it happened because i suspected the rear end to be shot. Now im hoping I can replace the damaged parts. None of the suspension parts are damaged. The wheel is just crooked on that side. Any ideas on what it could be? I had been giving it hell that day which is unusual. Had a couple races and I sprayed both times on some pretty hard launches. I wish I knew what i broke. Im digging in it tomorrow to see what i can find out. Here are some pics of underneath and from outside the car. You cant really see how the wheel is cocked until I back it up and move it to another position. Anyway let me know if you see anything abnormal in the pics that would cause this problem.

I think you have a scratch on your passenger side front bumper to. HAHA. You might want to check that out. I cant tell from the pics how the wheel sits, but if its a broken diff. you should be careful. Sometimes if they break and a c clip or the pin falls the entire wheel including axle could pull away. That wouldnt be fun.

hum i remember reading on a forum over at cz28.com that they made all fbody's like that... For when the driver sits in the car the car looks level..
but with your wheel like that i'm guessing theres more to the problem then that lol.
