UMI Torque Arm Relocation Bracket Install Issues - Bolt holes don't align to the body
I am posting on here since it is past 4:30pm EST and I doubt UMI is open past hours. Thought maybe someone on here might have had the same issues or know how to get this thing working. I am having one hell of a time getting the relocation crossmember to line up to the bolt holes on the driver's side. It feels like the whole rear end is pulling the torque arm bigtime to the right side of the car. Any suggestions? Tried jacking the tranny and rear end up and down as suggested, but it made no difference.
Also, the instructions say for stock rear end to use the 2nd set of bolt holes from the bottom on the clamshell. I am stock height in back, but I have a Moser 9". Should I be using different bolt holes for my Moser on the clamshell?

Yeah, it is still hooked up along with the sway bar and control arms. May not be a bad idea. I planned on getting the front and back re-aligned once I am done because I raised my rear to stock height and the front almost to stock height.
Wanted to get this stuff in there along with the TDs before I took it to get it aligned and set the pinion angle.
Thanks!

Did you by any chance put the transmission mount bolt on first? I doubt its your issue, but I had a poly mount on mine and by accident put the bolt in the far passenger side hole by accident and bolted it all up that way, it was really hard to get on and I had a lot of drivetrain issues until I figured it out. You couldn't tell just by looking at it that it was wrong.

Thanks for choosing UMI Performance. Its great to hear that you got it figured out! And good to hear that you are satisfied. Yeah sometimes they can for sure be tricky. The best advice it to leave everything loose until you have everything lined up. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

Got a second set of hands under there to help hold it over in place. Trying to torque it over to the bolt holes against the length of the arm and rear end along with threading the bolts for the crossmember was too much for me by myself.
