I finally got around to installing my BMR LCAs and BMR LCA relocation brackets.

Are these brackets really a bolt-in deal? I installed the relocation bracket with the shock mount in front of the stock shock mount. There's no way it's fitting behind the stock shock mount. I installed the front of the non-adjustable LCA, and when I swing the back into place, it seems that the hole is about 3/8" too far forward on the bracket. Am I doing something wrong or what? I tried tapping the rear end back by banging on the shock mount, but it seems to want to stay where it is.

 

The LCA's hold the rear of the car from moving front to back. When you took your old LCA loose the rear probably came forward a bit. Take a screwdriver and go throught the hole on the LCA bracket and hook it in the LCA bolt hole and pry the rear back till you can get the bolt started from the other side, then just push the bolt through.

 

I went back down the garage after posting the question and realized that I'd had a brain fart. I still had a little pressure on the jack, which was under the pumpkin. I released the pressure on the jack and I was able to pull the rear back far enough to slide the bolt through. It's all good now. Thanks.

 

Only you Jimbo can make the easiest jobs difficuly. LOL. Glad ya go it

 

hehe. Tell me about it. This project wound up being quite easy though. Other than trying to get the passenger side panhard rod bolt out (and back in), the whole project went very smoothly. I'm just glad that my car hasn't seen any winters, and that I've had most of the suspension out previously, otherwise it would have been a bolt breaking, blue-wrench using nightmare.

 

I hear ya, its nice when things go smoothly, though they hardly ever do.
