track arm question
I did a rebuild on the rear section of my truck. Bushings, springs/ trailing arms etc. etc....
I went to put the rear track arm with new bushings . And is it normal for the holes not to line right up and the arm pop right in?? right now i am about 1/2 to 3/4 inches off and have to push to the right (passenger side) to get the eyes to line up for the bolt, Is this normal to be that far off?

Re: track arm question
Yes it is. I used a Come-A-Along and a hydraulic jack to bring mine into alignment. Is yours adjustable?
Here is a link to what I did to center my Burban's rear end before installing my new adjustable track bar. Scroll down to post 513. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...698377&page=21

I will just use a chainfall and maybe strap it to anchor point in the garage or another vehicle bumber and slowly bring it over to line up the holes
