Re: Rear axle alignment ('95 Ranger)

I've never worked with leaf springs and solid axles before. I've inspected everything ... no worn bushings or anything like that.

How is the rear axle moved? Are both pairs of spring-to-axle clamps loosened for this work? Does one end move, and the other end rotate about a pin or something? Or, are both left and right axle ends free to move if loosened?

I'd appreciated any tips or other info.
are you saying that it is dog tracking? perhaps some full contact shims to correct rear toe?
