Those are pictures of our relocation brackets the issue he has is with a set of bolt on UMI brackets so they are not exactly the same design.....

They sure as hell look the same, the same enough. Hats off to you tech guys, helping with other brands and all. I don't think I could do it.

Take them off and put it back to stock, then look at the wheels.

Like mentioned they can be installed incorrectly causing this issue. Please give Jerry a call in our technical support at 1-814-857-5400 and he will be glad to help you... he is very familiar with this.

We are hear until 4:30 PM EST time... you can also e-mail him at jerry@umiperformance.com but I think it would be really hard to explain what needs done by e-mail.

Hope that helps,
Ryan

Hello Tiffany,
Alot of times when installing these brackets the rear end shifts from sway bar bind, T.A. etc. And when the control arm doesn't line up people will move the relocation bracket and not the rear end to line the lower controls arms up. This will cause the rear to become un-centered because the bracket was tighten down in the position where the rear end went to after removing the LCA.
If you could have your boy friend call me at his convience I'd be glad to help.
Thanks !

The scenarios you have listed are probably the number one reason most people purchase adjustable lower control arms. The people that seem to notice the wheel not being centered the most are one with large tires on the car and space is a premium.

We do offer a street type "on car" adjustable lower control arm that will help with this type situation. Here is a link to the page where they can be found-

MTCA002

These items are in stock and ready to ship today......

Would removing the sway bar while installing the relocation brackets solve this problem?

No, the sway bar has zero effect on the rear end assembly being more forward or backward.
