[QUOTE="GDTrumbo, post: 474097, member: 10665"] OK. First, The car should be jacked up by the diff. housing and jack stands placed under the axle. So the axle is level but is not hanging free. Adjust the new UCA's to stock length and change out the UCA's [color=red]one at a time[/color]. If you removed both UCA's at the same time, the axle was free to droop too far and probably did rock back toward the fuel tank. Hence the incorrect fit. Did the axle shift when the UCA's were removed?? To re-establish the stock pinion angle you'll have to: 1. Lift the car as stated before. 2. Remove both aftermarket UCA's and re-adjust back to stock length. 3. Get help to wrestle the axle back into position to install the UCA's back in at that length. That would be very difficult with the axle at full droop. I'm preparing to do this to mine Friday but with Ford FFRP UCA's as Maximum Motorsports recommends for road course type suspension. Good Luck, GT [/QUOTE]
