looking for that old thread concerning the rear axle

So my 2000 Maxima rear axle is not aligned and while the right wheel is nice and flush with the body, the left wheel is totally sucked in.

I have lived with this problem for years but lately it has gotten worse and now there is a clunking in the rear when I enter end exit driveways.

Does anyone have any insight to this issue or know who the member was who realigned the rear axle to remedy this problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Watch who you call Noob as I'm a donating member who has 7 years seniority on you.

Good luck with the link guys. Everyone post up your results here or bring the linked thread back to life.

I used that method earlier this year. It does help. It still won't be perfect but it will get yah with in 10mm of side to side difference. Much better than a full inch.

If you weren't such a noob yourself, you might know. However, you just joined a little over a year ago so it's understandable. Members used to be called donating members back in the day, before you were here. Now members who donate, are titled as supporting members.

The fact that you ask such questions as, "Donate money to whom?" shows that you don't know. It's donating members like me who help keep this forum up and running so until you donate to the cause, keep your cake hole shut and your useless opinions to yourself. Don't pollute my thread with useless comments. If you have nothing to add, stay out of the thread.

Do your part and donate:

You should not assume I've only been on here a year. I've been on here since '03, just forgot my old info. WTF are you talking about donating? Who are you donating money too? This site used to take donations back when it was run by a member, but that hasn't been the case in a long time since a COMPANY owns the site. You must not get around much not to know that.

If an idiot wants to spent $30 to get an avatar and larger mailbox, then so be it. You are not supporting the site by doing so. The site makes their money off the advertisements.
