Question PST driveshaft hitting UMI torque arm bolt?

Hey guys my car is an m6 with a moser 9" rear, umi adj. tunnel mount torque arm, and a PST 3.5" driveshaft. The problem is when I try to install the driveshaft it makes contact with the top bolt of the instant center bracket of the front crossmember. I loosened the front crossmember and pushed it towards the driver's side but the driveshaft still hits the bolt. Should I try to adjust the panhard bar to shift the rearend towards the passenger side or is there something that I'm missing?

I would def check the rear end and make sure it is in the middle if your car is dropped

The other option I thought about taking is moving the torque arm bracket on the rearend to the inside bolt holes so the torque arm itself sits farther to the driver's side. Does anyone know if this a feasible option with this on a 9" rear?

Hello
First I would like to thank you for choosing UMI Performance for your suspension needs. With that particular rear having a bigger center housing it will make the torque arm mount closer to the tunnel area. And a solution for what a lot of our customers do is they trim off half of the first set of holes and mount the arm on the second set of holes. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call and I will be more than glad to explain it over the phone. I will be in the office M-F 8:00am-4:30pm EST.
Thanks
Brad
