    i looked in the archives to see if anybody had any frame measurements for a 75 cj5.i know my frame is bent somewhere but not sure where.
    my wheel track is off,front axle sticks out about 1.5 inches to the pass. side than the back.ive checked all center bolts and leaf springs for any kind of shift or broken centerbolt.it also tracks very crooked down the road.
    i set it up on the alignment machine were i work and all the specs are in except for thrust angle
    any info or frame specs or ideas would be greatly appreciated. i figured before a pay to put it on a frame machine id see if you guys could help,since i joined this site it seems you guys know everything :)

    Best way to tell for sure that it is your frame and not the suspension is to pick 2 identical holes up front(one on each side) and 2 in back of the frame and measure diagonally to check for diamond. Unfortunately it's been a year since I took a fabrication class, but I think you want to have the measurements within 1/4". Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Since you've likely got everything on the Jeep, park on a level slab of concrete and use a plumb bob and transfer the locations of the holes to the concrete, then measure.

    IIRC it is 1/4 inch. I may have a link to this site where McRuff talks about his frame out of whack.
