    Thats because you have a lift on your XK and you have the stock rear track bar. You would need to buy an adjustable track bar to properly center the axle. Basically when you added the lift spacers the rear axle was pushed downward to achieve the lift and at the same time slightly forward since you are using stock length upper and lower control arms. You are also using the stock length track bar, so when the axle gets pushed downward due to the lift it cant stay centered and moves towards the drivers side. This is due to the track bar frame mounts being located on the drivers side of the vehicle. To keep it cheap, the 4 inch lifts provide a new track bar relocation bracket that mounts to the oem axle bracket to center the axle. Its a lot cheaper then selling an adjustable track bar with the lift.

    Its hard to explain so I hope you understand. Theres nothing wrong with your XK. Just need an adjustable rear track bar to center the axle.
