You can unscrew that arm mount some, I'd want at minimum the diameter of the rod worth of thread engaged. Yes mine is like that also. Seems to work fine.

I'm going to piggy back off this. When turning the rear adjustment nut to change the pinion angle, it just pushes the front mount forward instead of changing the angle of the rear axle... what am I doing wrong?

Yeah if that bracket is at 45, it can technically swing either way during travel. If it was vertical, forward movement would be more linear but more restricted? Not sure any of that matters, rear suspension typically doesnt move a ton. Remember the stock arms had the slide joint up there and if you ever examined the wear marks on the stock torque arm it seemed like there was maybe an inch of total movement from the arm front to back at that location, likely due to the sweep of the lower arms as stated above.

The pivot link doesn't care where it is located as long as it isn't laying straight forward or straight backwards. The pivot link itself barely moves forwards or backwards.

Just installed my MWC T/A and was wondering that as well, mine is far more vertical than yours but still angled back. Wouldn't making it more vertical move the instant center forward? That was my thoughts and why I set mine up the way I did.
