Default lca relocation brackets change pinion angle?

I just changed rearends from one stock to another stock, and I had the weld on reloc. brackets on my original rear with the lca all the way at the bottom. My new rear is all in the stock location. I have a umi adj. ta also. I just got the new rear in today and have a slight noise. I havent goten a chance to put it back on to see if its one of the e-brakes rubbing or the pinion angle. just wondering if anyone had this type of thing. By the way I had the pinion angle set to -2 on my old rear and no noise.
thanks, Jason

If the LCA holes are in different locations it could cause the T/A to move forward or backward slightly and depending on how the front bracket sits it will either raise or lower the front of the T/A slightly.

Regardless anytime you make adjustments, T/A or LCA you always want to recheck the pinion angle.

Who's to say the new rear end you put in isn't the problem, hope not though.
