Running 1 wheel spacer?

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right spot but I guess part of the question does relate, so here we go... I have a 2002 T/A on a salvage title. This is my second year with it and I just noticed that if you look at the tires from the back bumper the driver side sticks out a little bit and the passenger sits in a bit. Now the question is, is it possible to run a single spacer to get it to look the same on both sides, or would it throw off geometry? It drives straight and true, no one has said that I "dog track" even slightly. OR is there a suspension piece that i should look at (panhard ect.) that might be treeked?

sorry I am at work and cant get pics up, but even at home I couldnt (pc is down) but if any one could give some suggestions/tips I would appriciate it.

It prob sits like that because your rear end isnt ligned up. I would check to see that the rears are in line with the fronts before going and running a single spacer.

Take a look at the panhard bar, it may be tweaked or even bent. At worst you can pick up an adjustable panhard bar and it will allow to adjust the rear end and get it all centered up.

Sounds like you need an adjustable panhard bar and an alignment.

Yep.... just throw a Panhard bar on it. You would be surprised how many F'body rears aren't center. People usually start noticing once they throw some wide rear on.
