When you say "1/2 inch back," does that mean that the wheelbase is 1/2
inch short on the right side, or could it be simply a bodywork problem?
To check chassis alignment, you'll want to measure the length of the
diagonals as well as the wheelbase on each side. From those
measurements, you will be able to know if anything is "out," and by how
much.
Keep us posted,
