Are you sure its not just a broke pin and your axle has now moved away from the center of your spring pack?

Ask why I guessed that  :outtahere:

Take it apart and see what's up... measure pin to front of spring and front of spring to a crossmember or something...  Give it some thought and the issue will present itself.
