I installed some UMI weld in LCA lowering brackets, as a final check I measured from the front a-arm bolt to the rear lower control arm bolt. There is a 3/8" difference between the two sides. It's not the brackets either because I measured to the stock location and it's off by the same amount.
I guess I could have corrected this before welding the bracket on but I didn't measure it first.
The wheels in the wheel wells measures different from side to side too.
The brackets must be welded on wrong from the factory because the car hasn't been wrecked, it's got UMI LCA's too.
Is this a common problem?

I believe that you would need a set of adjustable LCAs to correct the front to back issue.

If I may re-interpret, what you are saying is that the distance from the rear d/s wheel to the front d/s wheel is different from the rear p/s wheel to the front p/s wheel? Or some similar relationship, correct?
If so, that would be expected, since one would hope that the relationship between the LCAs and the axles to be one-to-one.

So do you know if this problem is common? it's different by about 3/8 of an inch.
