    rear shackle cocked?

    is it common for the rear shackle to sit crooked i.e. angled slightly ? is this spring or frame? frame visually looks undamaged?

    I've seen it on a few CJs and YJs. If it really bothers you, you can usually fix it by loosening the u-bolts at the axle, pulling the shackle straight, then re-tightening the u-bolts.
