Hi folks.
Last winter, due to lack of space in the garage, I jacked up just one side of the rear axle at a time on a jackstand for a few weeks while working on the rear drums.
Do I have to worry that the frame may have warped a bit or be damaged in any other way? I didn't notice anything unusual when driving this year.
I'm thinking about it right now because I'm browsing through photos from last year.

Hi Todd, depending on the jack height you won't or will have a problem (eventually with the torsion bars) , if its just on one wheel. Preferably you jack up the corresponding other side to have the weight distributed equally on both sides.

There should be no problem with this, frame is very strong
