Technical Not lining up axle wishbone

Anyone have any tips/ideas ? The left side of the wishbone is good the right side looks cocked ? And will not go onto the axle
When I rotate the axle around. It’s the same deal ? I’m assuming the axle is bent ?
Thanks in advance

 

The first thing that comes to mind (and maybe you've done this) is to see if the axle is twisted? Second....if you sight across one leg of the wishbone to the other side, is there an apparent bend?

My guess would be that the axle has got a too much bend in it. Set it up on a flat surface with the king pin bosses at the same angle both ends, then measure the angles of the wishbone mounting holes. Failing that, measure from the left side kingpin boss to the right side wishbone hole and vice-versa. If there's a large difference, one end of the axle might be bent more than the other. Sometimes that's how wheel alignments were done, by bending the axle.

 

Something is sprung.Lay the axle on a real flat surface,and check for "rock"...it should be close to flat.Look for lots of day light under it on one side.Someone could have smacked the wishbone into something high,and bent it.I have seen tweeted wishbones.Sightline down the length,and look for curves.A torch most likely will set it right on the wishbone.As for the axle if its bent I think I would sent it to Okie Joe to be straightened.

 

You need an angle finder, a true flat surface (Or two points that are level to support the axle ends of the wishbone and the kingpin bosses.) and dowels that fit snug in the holes. To eliminate the wishbone, place it on the flat surface and support the axle ends at a level height. Put a dowel through each boss and measure the angle. For the axle, support kingpin bosses so they are level, put the dowels in the holes and measure the angles. A sighting down the dowels will also reveal if there is any longitudinal twist in the axle.
