In the marked up picture, one axle ubolts at 10-15 degrees and other at “0” plumb. But the equalizer isn’t level. If the equalizer was level ubolts would be at 5-7 degrees (leaning towards each other) shouldn’t they be at “0” plumb? Longer shackles would rotate axles up in the middle, getting you closer to “0”?
In your first pic it almost looks like right axle (rear?) locked up and left axle brakes aren’t working allowing left axle to rotate freely and torquing the equalizer? Do the tires spin if raised? Maybe you pinched or nicked brake wires?
I know lots of ? Just trying to help, please excuse the non technical -plumb and level and leaning (carpenter 30 yrs)
Please keep us informed if you figure it out ( I plan on doing a wet bolt upgrade)
