Default LCA Angle?

When I look at my LCA after I installed my BMR Vert Subframe connectors, they are at an angle. They are lower where they attach to the car than where they attach to the axle. Is this right? I've tried to get them level and tighten them up to 80 Ft Lbs. When I let the body back down they end up at that angle. Are they supposed to be level when the cars weight is on the suspension?

Thanks <img border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

So the axle end is pointing up??

Tightening the mounting point while tha axle is hanging is no good, you're just preloading the bushing which is a bad thing.

Sounds like you need to invest in some LCA relocation brackets.

With the cars weight on the wheels should they be level?
