Default Fox diff farther back on right side???

I picked up an 84 GT with a fresh 5.0 and a T5 the other day. The car is fairly clean and doesnt appear to have been driven hard at all but I was looking at it thinking the right rear wheel looked too far back in the wheel opening. Checked it today and it is definitely farther back than the left side.
Is this a common thing and am I just looking at worn bushings or could the car or control arms be tweaked?


Also in a somewhat unrelated question are the later fox GT sway bars front and rear a direct bolt in?
Im looking to put bigger sway bars and possibly a bit firmer spring and shock combo in it as well.

Likely bad bushings, but certainly take a close look at the control arms (all 4) to confirm nothing is bent or worn/broken bolts.

As for sway bars, they are direct bolt-on, but do you currently have understeer. If so, how much?
