Well, my rear end on the driver side is centered in the wheel well by eye, but the passenger side is off a good 2 inches forward (toward the front of the car) in comparison. I noticed something off when I hit the brakes and the car jerks to the passenger side out of the blue, then I started looking around and found this. This is definitely something funky going on to me. Is this normal after having a S60 rear end swap, BMR lower springs w/ heater hose mod, stock rear decarbons, Adj. Panhard bar, NON-Adj. LCA, LCA relo. bracket, and Adj. tunnel mount torque arm???? Obviously I could just get adjustable LCA, but I'm wondering if something else could be actually wrong and needs to be fixed causing this problem that has seemed to have randomly occurred. ALSO, when jacking up the car on the center of the rear end, the passenger side sags about a inch or so more than the driver side.

I bought these LCA 4 years ago when I first started modding the car with no expectations of going this far (bolt on only mentality at the time lol...) and have had the rear end in for just alittle overa year now and didn't have problems then. Some how way or another it got out of wack these last few months. It seems as so, at least.. BUT yeah, I'll just end up investing into the ADJ. ones ASAP anyway..

Did you check the LCA bolts/nuts to make sure they're tight? How about the lower shock mount bolts and the LCA relocation bracket bolts are they tight?

You should also check your brakes, a caliber that isn't working properly will do this also.

I'm not sure I'd simply just throw on adjustables and call it a day considering you're saying this just seemed to happen after having the rear fine for a year. Definitely check all your mounting points to ensure bolts are tight and nothing is bent (did you hit something recently?).

That what I was thinking as well. I didn't hit anything or have any event to have occurred for this to happen. I will check everything though and see what I can find.

Sounds to me like the LCA brackets are not welded on the axle square.

This is what I thought but the op said it was fine for a year. I'm assuming the op looked over everything carefully after install and didn't just now notice the problem.

oh, I missed that. Read like the S60 was new. Something has to be bent.

Alright thanks for the help guys! I haven't been able to work in the car till tonight, schools took my time lol. But I did find out my ADJ panhard lock nuts were not locked on and the rear end was off that way. I haven't been able to look at the original problem yet. I'll do it when I get day light tomorrow

Well I found the problem was my UMI lower control arm bracket is broken... I'm gonna get it welded back for now until I get ready to race again and buy another.

I had same problem and more with my burkhart 9 I got all adjustable and realized that could not even fix it.

That would definitely explain it .
IMO, I'd remove both for now and contact UMI and maybe they'll send you a new set in exchange for the old set. I'm sure they would like to examine your current set for the cause of failure.

Yeah I will contact them and see what they say. I had to get it going dependably for the next couple days so I had no option but to weld it and get back on the road. I'll still see what they so though for sure!

Could have just removed it and put the LCA in the stock mount point

Interesting breakage, wonder what caused that.

Yeah, I guess you're right. lol. Oh well, too late now haha! You aren't the only one. When I figured there was something wrong, I hadn't even been racing for a while. Maybe it was from the couple years of hell I gave it before that??
