I had got in an accident which push my rear end a half inch right...i measured from the from to rear wheel on both sides and they are both even...is it possible that the bracket that holds the rear end moved?? if so is there anyway to fix that since it is welded to the frame??

Check the pandhard/upper panhard for bending. Won't hurt to take a peek at the LCA's as well.

Hello
Yes it is possible that the mounting locations did get messed up! Has the vehicle been to a shop yet? If not I would highly suggest taking it to one and having it checked.
Hope that helps!

panhard?? lcd?? sorry man need a lil help with that dont know the technical terms...and i had the accident a while back already had the body and everthing fixed and just put on a new rear end and this is what i encountered...my problem is also i already invested so much into this car body everything before the accident so im a lil stuck till i can figure the problem out
The pandhard is the red bar above the jack (it's attached to both the body and axle and is responsible for keeping the axle centered). The LCA is the red bar just in front of the rotor. Both these pieces are after market, so they won't look like the OE, which is stamped steel.
When you reinstalled the rear did you happen to lower the vehicle as well? If so that is normal and you will need to get a adjustable pan hard bar to recenter the rear back under the vehicle.
Hope that helps!
Thanks
Brad
no i did not lower it but i put a 4th gen rear end in...but i see the pan hard pics i know what they are had a brain fart...but i replaced all those parts with the parts from the 4th gen i will have to check to see if they were bent also which is possible cause of the 4th gen i had, had a lean to it they call it the 4th gen lean..frame tweeked...maybe that caused a lil bend in the panhard
