Installed LCA relocation brackets, not centered
#41
Hello
They are a little tricky! Sometimes you have to loosen everything up on the rear end. And make sure that you don't get the rear end into a bind and make sure all the holes line up especially the factory location seeing that is how you get the main setting. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and either Jerry or I will be glad to help!
Thanks
Brad

The instructions included with the brackets are the correct procedure. A clunk would usually signify a loose bolt or bolt tighten but not enough. We have techincal support available every day from 8-430pm EST if you would like to speak with them or e-mail Jerry at jerry@umiperformance.com and he may be able to help but he prefers the phone.
Thank you,
Ryan

my bolt-in UMI relocation brackets fit fine and seem to really have helped regain the traction loss I had on my lowered car without them. I'm very happy. the on car adjustable panhard bar is very nice also. I got the one with a rod end to the axle and a poly end to the chassis.

I've found that whenever I have a challenge with some aftermarket parts it's always a good idea to give the manufacture a call. 99 times out of a 100 they are more than willing to help a guy out who's patent and polite. I've called UMI a couple of times for help with the PHR and they were really good on the phone. PBJ, if you are still having a challenge, give them a call I'm sure they'll help you out as well as they helped me.

I'm having the same problem with a set of weld in brackets that I recently had welded in by a local shop. My rear is approximately 3/4" off center towards the back of the car. I'm thinking about giving them a call and asking them to grind the welds off and redo the job correctly. Will this cause any problems with the integrity of the brackets?

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

Hello , I just recently installed a set of UMI Bolt on brackets with ADJ LCAs & yes it is a tight fit but it helps if you have both sides loose with a hammer & big wrench to wedge the LCA into place . BTW car handles much better now with allot less wheelspin , it does ride a little harder ( oh well ) I did not need to ADJ the control arms both were stock length .

I had same issue with my umi lca's brackets, I have prokit springs and non adj lca's. My rear set perfect before the install but after the brackets my rear was way to far back, actually almost cut a tire when I hit a big bump and the tire hit the rear fender lip.
Instead of getting adj lca's, I just poked and extra set of holes in the brackets. Brought the rear closer to centered. I think it will work just fine.

Well im not saying that this is the right thing to do, its just what I did. Im planning on getting a moser 12 bolt soon and these brackets wont fit, so i just poked some holes in them.

Thanks for the pics
I was a little concerned about how close to the other holes the new holes might need to be, guess I'll find out if I have this problem, as I've just bought some........
