Default Alignment question

I've modded my g29 last year lift kit, bigger wheels and tires etc... When I installed the lift kit and did alignment in the front I noticed that back looked a bid odd. If I look in the rear wheel well I can see the difference about half inch in the gap space between 2 rear tires. Can the rear axle be misaligned ?

The swingarm can become misaligned if the panhard bar is bent.

Frame damage could cause the problem, too.

Is there multiple mounting holes on 1 side of the panhard bar ?

Shouldn't be, unless it was drilled later on. I've got a '96 that has 2 holes on the right for the panhard to attach to. The cart had an old 3" lift, with no drop for the bar, and they drilled a hole and moved the panhard to the left to compensate for the lift.

This is the second hole that someone drilled. The old 3" lift didn't have a drop for the panhard, so they drilled a hole to the left of the original one and moved the bar. With the Steeling 4" lift, I had to move the bar to the original hole and install the drop in a vertical position, not as shown.

Here are the pics of the steeleng rear panhard bar as it came from the factory. I used the upper of the 2 holes by the factory for proper rear end alignment. I later fabbed up a new right side mount to level the panhard bar and get better clearance for my muffler. P.S. I cut the corner off the left mount for better muffler clearance.
