Default Alignment question???

04 d2 my right rear wheel shows serious toe out. Nothing is bent as it looks and I don't see any toe adjustments for the rear. Is my hub bent?

It makes the truck very loose feeling and like it doesn't want to stay straight, have to correct constantly.

Have you tried an alignment, then moved it half a rotation forward, and tried it again to rule out a bent wheel? Are you getting bad vibrations?

That's how I found out about it besides the fact that the truck is very loose and sloppy. The alignment shoes toe out. The wheel is not bent and no vibration.

there is not toe in toe out adjustment in the rear, check your bushings

Bushings are good, checked them millions of times.
I know there is no toe adjustment, that's my problem.
How can bushings affect the right hub/wheel only?

Is there any slop when you grab the wheel at 12 and 6 or 9 and 3 oclock position? Could be a wheel bearing? I had a bad one in the front with lots of slop but no vibes or grinding. And the tire was wearing awfully bad on the inside.

if that doesn't work and the hub is good.
you probably want to pull the wheel and put a straight edge across it, take a couple measures while spinning it?

The issue I believe is the right rear, I even had my dad drive it and I followed, it was crabbing slightly and I could see the right rear was pointing toe out
