I just noticed that my right rear tire sits a little over 1/2" further back than the left rear tire ( measured front tire to back tire). I have UMI bolt in LCA Relo brackets, UMI non adjustable LCA's, Edelbrock adjustable panhard rod, and Edelbrock non adjustable torque arm. The rear is centered left to right, but apparently the rear is not tracking straight. Could this have been an oversight on my part or maybe a defective/bent part? I suppose adjustable LCA's would solve this?

Thanks for the help!

Yes sounds like time for adjustable LCA's and I would suggest only buying adjustable suspension parts! That way you don't run into these problems.

The problem is the lower control arm relocation brackets are not installed correctly. Either one or both has moved on you.

This is what I was going to say off the top of my head... Might want to look into it.

The relocation brackets are bolt in and held in place by the shock mount bolt and the original lca mounting hole, how could one install them incorrectly? I don't see how they could move unless one of the brackets were to bend. Maybe one of the brackets were "off" and I never noticed?

Even though they are bolt ins there is a little bit of adjustment in them. If you loosen the bolts and take the control arm out you can move the bracket back and forth. If the rear was centered before you put the brackets and arms on it has to be the brackets because the arms are made to stock length. If you have any questions give me a call.

Thanks for the info, I will get under the car tomorrow and check it out!

Also your frontend alignment could be out, because the front lca have adjustment in them. You might could check the gap in between your wheel well and tire on both sides,in the rear. Although thats not real accurate! Like BMR said, you need to check the installation of the control arm brackets first. Then to make sure its not "doglegging" go get an alignment!
I happened to experience a little of this. But mine was all adjustable BMR front to back. Yeah it was fun.

Front tire to back, there is a little over 1/2" difference between the left and right side. I noticed it when I saw how close the right rear tire was to the fender and was not centered. I will look into this!
