Well, I can't say I really knew what I was doing and just removed everything. Looking at the rear, it looks like one rear tire is sticking out a little farther than the other. And no I didn't mark the bolts.
More support, when I crank the wheel hard the rear does jerk a slight bit. I thought it was just the limited slip locking slightly, or breaking in. I did use the extra friction plates instead of a couple steel ones. I didn't even think about alignment until I noticed the tire thing.
How urgent do I need to do this?
Live and learn I guess.
Thanks Calvin. I appreciate it.
YES you do need to get an alignment. Any time you remove part of the suspension except for the shocks and the front upper a arms you will have to get a new alignment done.
You will wear your tires out in short order if you dont get it lined up.

Why not? didnt have a deep well socket? or extension?vancouverBC said:Drive Shaft Bolts
The axle nuts are the 36mm nuts in the center of the wheel lug bolts.T-bird4vr said:I lock-tited the driveshaft and don't have any vibrations, even at high speed.
Can you define the axle nuts a little better. Are they the three that hold in the half shafts on each side. I want to call it the hubs, but might not be the correct term (spindles maybe). They are lock nuts. I took the half-shafts out with the (assuming) spindles on them. (Nuts and bolts through the rubber bushings).
