Things can get bent over the years and move around, I don't think you should worry about it. Did you measure from the locating holes on the spring pads to the center of the pinion gear?

I would not worry about 1/8". A
Some came from the factory 1" offset.
The spring bushings could be worn and it's leaning.

the big concern would be how the rear tracks behind the front wheels. yoke being a little off would be secondary. How did you determine that the axle was 1/8th off center?

Ask me about my head light upgrade harness!!!
X 2 on how did you figure that it was off set by 1/2 of an inch? If your measuring from your body make sure that the body is square on the frame.. Id lean more towards the body is off then the axle has moved.
