centering the rear

i picked up some wolfe double adjustable rear control arms for my 93. ever since i got my car the rear has been more twords the back with everything stock. i figured with the adjustable control arms i could bring it in and center it but even with them as small as they go its still way twords the back. the tires are 3/4" from the rear bumper. ive never seen any other cars like this. as far as i can tell the car isnt twisted. i put a set of bmr boxed subframe connectors in and they line up perfectly. did anyone else ever see a car like this before? i dont like it because it looks kinda bad and my springs are kind of pitched twords the front of the car. thanks

maybe your pinion angle is off. if its wayyyy positive it will push the tires back in the wheel well.

just checked it out, it looks like its on the same plane as my subframes. if you drew a horizontal line threw them both. if that makes any sense to you. definately doesnt look negative at all. thanks

You could take the locking nuts out of the LCA's for another 3/4" or so.

wouldnt it be bad to have rod ends with no jam nuts?

there doesnt seem to be anything really wrong with the car though. the subframes lined up great, nothing seems to be bent or looks like it was hit. i even swapped rears out to see if that fixed it. its kinda wierd.

Well thanx for mentioning you had LCA relocation brackets. thats EXACTLY what the problem is. i bet if you put the LCA in the stock hole it will line up right.
