Front spring Problem?

[2High4U]

I was wondering cause i got to looking at them and it looks like the leafs where it bolts to the front is all the way on the inside on both sides.

It looks like they slid inward and the rest inf the bushing is on the otherside is this right?

lol ill see if i can take a picture

if your looking at the front of your truck
the leaf springs in the front where they bolt up are pushed towards the inside all the way and it looks the the bushings are shoved out toward left

ok.... got ya, no that's not right. Did you re-torque your botls after 500 miles? that's strange, would a bent axle tube make your springs try to wander off to one side?

no its been like that since ive bought the truck like 4 or 5 months ago just noticed it to tell you the truth.. what do i tork them to?

what do i tork them to?

I have no idea My point was, If you put new springs in and don't retorque them after a few hundred miles they loosen up. Its possible that the axle u-bolts are loose and the whole things is torque steering..... look and see if your shackles have the same thing going on, on the opposite side as the front bushings. If it is the u bolts that are loose I would say about that F$%^&* tight
