Having UMI LCA relocation issue...
Went to put my UMI relocation brackets and new control arms. Drivers side i had no problems what so ever. But worked on the passenger side, it fought me the whole way. heres some pics
This is the driver side
This is the passnger side, and somethings twisted. Don't know if it the brakcet or on the axel
I got all the bolts in. Is this okay to leave like or no?

I assume from the picture the plate we weld on the back is just sawed crooked or placed on crooked. That plate is a piece of 3/16" x 4" sawed to length and welded on the back as a support plate, nothing special. It could be sawed crooked or the welder placed it on crooked. It doesn't effect the hole locations in anyway, they are bolted to the fixture using bolts in all holes and the plate is placed on last. If all the bolts are in you are good to go. Again that back plate won't effect hole location. I will show this to the welders in the shop and investigate the fixture, it looks like a cross eyed welder to me

Looks to me like the upper left mounting hole is drilled too far toward the top of the bracket. Seems like the whole piece is riding low on the left side. Maybe you could measure the distance between the holes on both sides. If there is more distance on the drivers side, then you found the problem.

They're only suppose to move like that when you have Roto-joints or Rod-ends on both ends of the LCAs.
With you have the fixed position poly bushings on the front of your LCAs then the Roto-joints at the rear should be straight, NOT angled. I'd check the jam nuts for the length adjustment I bet they're loose on both LCAs.
