Default Axels dont line up

Hey everyone, i recently bought a 91 CRX HF the body is in good shape no real structural damage. It also had a couple of upgrades it was converted to OBD1, Integra front disc brakes, and a set (what looks like) ebay shocks and struts. I also added a full race trac bar. My issue is this... when i installed the engine/trans my drive line isnt straight. Its as if the engine is too far forward, but the mounts are fine. I was curious if any of the upgrades that were done to the vehicle prior to my buying would have anything to do with the problem im having with the axles being cocked back. Any input would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows anything about this please let me know. Thanks guys!

Might be the adjustment of your full race trac bar. could be pulling/pushing your caster out of wack.....
