Help Needed - Rear Bumper NOT Level (1 Viewer)

[francis1540]

Bought this in November and didn't notice it until I fixed the right rear corner. Any help figuring out what the issue is and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I'm the third owner and the CarFax was clean.

Looks like minor fender bender, likely backed into a pole.

Right side is slightly lower than the left, 1/4" perhaps

RIGHT SIDE

LEFT SIDE

Check for rusted out body mounts on the left side.

Check for dry rotted rubber body mount bushings on the left side.

Maybe the body is tweaked up on the right side.

The rear center bumper is the frame.

I wouldn't get too wound up about it.

The only time Carfax will show anything is IF it's reported. I own vehicles that show a clean Carfax, but you cannot tell they've been hit twice.......

Agreed, not too worried, more annoying than anything....would still love to figure out what it is

That's called "cruiser lean." Normally it's found in the suspension, but occasionally it manifests in the body.

This falls into the category of things that I would ignore, but I think @BILT4ME is on the right track. Could be a body mount issue, slightly tweaked body or slightly tweaked frame.

If anything on my truck is comes out within a 1/4 in of square I’d be surprised. Probably body mounts.

Mine was like that too. Really made fitting my 4x4 labs rear bumper a bitch as I built it. Probably should've corrected it, but I made it work.

Good to know, that's on my list of To Do's.

@Rusty Marlin , good eye....glad I finally found my OCD support group. Now I just need to decipher all the threads on a rough idle and RPM fluctuations.
