Default Checking axle alignment

Knuckle to Knuckle or just eyeball it

one of your links probably pulled out a bit. see if all your links are tight and in the same holes on the chassis

ya, take the wheels off and measure from wheel hex to wheel hex, if your links are the same and chassis is not bent the distance should be the same

If you can see through the fog that is where my end has to be to make axle square?
maybe put a washer in there?
Link is short?

I've also seen bent links get bent more after a fall. Take the two of them off and lay one on top of the other to check them.
