Default Is it right.

Today I put a UMI tunnel mount adjustable torque arm, non adjustable LCA, bolt in LCA relocation brackets and bolt in 2 pt subframe connectors. I tightened everything down with the suspension loaded just like instructions said.
The LCA are in the bottom hole of the relocation brackets. I also adjusted the torque arm with the suspension load shooting from -2 degrees of pinion angle.

This is what I have 2 degree angle on driveshaft and 0 on the bottom of the torque arm mount at the rear end. Did I do it right is this -2 degrees?

1 other thing is I get a clunk when I hit the brakes now that wasn't there before I haven't noticed the clunk on acceleration.

What did I do wrong?

I have no idea if it relates, but I get a clunk now on hard bumps since I put in the UMI 3pt SFC.

Hello,

Your pinion angles seems correct, how does the car feel?

As for any clucking with SFC's, Step 12 of the installation instructions

12. Check bolts for tightness periodically. If a “clunk” is detected from rear control arm after installation, re-torque control arm bolt to 90-100 ft. lbs.

We do this because our SFC's sandwich the outside of the control arm mount with 3/16" steel. It will now require more pressure to compress the control arm bushing and insure the control arm mount move which is what is most likely causing the clunk.

Hope this helps!
