Hi all I have recently got a landy 110 ex power board and have noticed the rear axle is off center by about 3/4 to a inch to the near side I have measured everything chassis wise and its all perfect nothing looks bent the a fame bushes look ok been replaced along with the rear ball joint though.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as it does my nut in drives lovely just one of those things that pee you off every time you look at it.
 
check your rear trailing arm bushes, are you getting a feeling of slight rear steer

Cheers for the fast replies :) the bushes are ok not the best but with a big bar they don't shift. the cross member looks to be fine so do the mounts. I have measured from the front to the rear of each a frame where the mounts are and there bang on within a mm Is not the easiest thing to measure.
im in the process at the moment of removing it to do the rear ball joint and fit new a frame bushes. shall report back if it helps at all and then I can have a better inspection of the a frame and the cross member.
 
OK so done the a frame the mounts look fine measured the cross member more accurately and it is spot on. done all the bushes and the ball joint and it has improved a little is just under 3/4 a inch out now. still noticeable though. I have been told that it may be because of the chassis been a very duty utility vehicle it may be designed to be like it. Anyone else heard of this ? im still suspect of the a frame its self as it doesn't look quite right.

sounds like rubbish to be honest , lrs arent exactly perfect dimensionally
 
Your not comparing the rear axle with the front are you and do you have a lift kit?
If you lift the suspension with standard pan-hard rods, the front axle shifts to the right side as the panhard swings down.

Also, might be worth checking your hubs and rims in case there's different offsets on them or something as that's really all I can think of if all the suspension and chassis looks right and measures up more or less perfect.
