i have the exact same problem.. have u ever resolved this?
it was due to the frame being bent. they said it was pinching one of the suspension components preventing it from sitting straight. they said as soon as they started to straighten the frame, everything popped back into place.

they broke my lip in the process though.. lol. jb-welded it and it broke again a couple weeks later *shrug*

On flat ground, measure fender-to-wheel clearance on both sides of the rear.

After all the suspension parts check out, if there's still difference, it's the frame.

I had that problem.

One thing, though, is our rear knuckles (spindles) are weak, and if they're bent, they will be hard to notice.

A good frame shop will be able to diagnose what's wrong. They have to have a frame machine, and a really good tech.
