XTreme Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I was behind this truck today.......don't think I've ever seen anything like this before! Must be dangerous surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 We used to call it 'crabbing' back in the day. The chassis has twisted , if that was spotted by the authorities (or any good transport manager) in UK it would be taken off the road. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Looks like the rear diff isn't tracking with the front....possibly broken main leaf spring or center bolt.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Most long rigid lorries I see are twisted that way, the front wheels are rarely in line with the rears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
