[Healeys] Rear End Alignment Redux

Gentlemen,

Just a thought...the setup of the diff has always resulted in the rear right 
wheel driving a little "stronger" than the left. Just note how older splined 
hubs will always have much more driving direction wear on the right splines 
than the left splines. Might this be tending to send the axle more to the 
left on a right hand turn, vs. turns going the other way?

Another thought, radial ply tires allow a lot of sidewall roll and flex 
compared to the bias ply tires the car was designed for.

It doesn't make sense to me that the panhard rod and/or the shackles or U 
bolts would have any tendency for enough wear to cause rubbing in one 
direction only, especially on a low mileage restoration..
