Thumbs up Hello

Hello,
The lower Control Arm Relocation Bracket are designed to eliminate wheel hop and help gain back any traction problems due to lowering your vehicle!

Are you using a Sway Bar? IF so what kind?

Leave me know and I will be glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

Thanks for choosing UMI

Have you tried the adjustments on the shocks? Maybe they are too soft?

no problem my adj phb and adj lca's are umi so it was only best to go with umi for the relocation brackets

yea i have them set to the to the stiffes settings on the rear and thats where the car feels bumpy.

i will have to make sure that none of the bolts are lose or maybe im suffering from wheel hop.

either way im going with 4/4 rear konis soon so it should be all good

Hello,
Thanks for the questions, You want the poly end to be on the body of the vehicle and you always want the pivot able end on the rear so you have you adjustments and movement that you need. I hope that helps
Take it easy!
