Default 9" Tilting Up (Pics Included) Any advice?

When the weight is off the rear it tilts up all funny like this. You can see in the one picture the shocks therefore must tilt forward and the adjustment **** was sheared off from the shock mount above.

Let me know what you think should be done or if this is normal. I suppose the adjustable T/A can straighten it out.

Yea, so maybe try adjust T/A to make the rear straighter i suppose? Something made the adjustment **** shear off of the shock.
I think i might buy a tool for pinion angle and go from there...?

Until you have that torque arm on there it will tilt like that. The torque arms purpose is to counteract axle wrap like this.

yep, an adjustable T/A and a angle finder would be the best way to go.
