Default LCA WITH RELOC BRACKET INSTALL ?

I AM GOING TO INSTALL BMR LCA WITH RELOC BRACKETS, THIS MAY BE A DUMB QUESTION BUT I HAD MY GEARS INSTALLED AFTER I WAS LOWERED, WILL CHANGING THE ANGLE OF THE LCAS CHANGE MY PINION ANGLE ? THUS CAUSING GEAR WINE, BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY GEAR WINE NOW AND WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

The relocation brackets will change the pinion angle. It may not be correct. I don't think it will affect the gear whine.

I don't see how the pinion angle will cause gear whine.

i dont think relo brackets will really change it...they will return the LCA's parallel 2 the ground like they were stock...adj. LCA's will change ur pinion angle...

From what I understand and I an no expert
Altering the length of the LCA's will alter you pinion angle. The relocation brackets can change your instant center if not adjusted parallel to the ground and mess with your ride and traction

It depends on the relocation brackets. Theoretically, the brackets should not change the pinion angle, if their holes are aligned so that when the lca is lowered the holes line up properly. In reality, with welding brackets on (recommended; I even welded my CHE ones on), you should still check the pinion angle and see if it changed, and then adjust (UCA or LCAs) as needed.

if u think about it lowering ur car w/o changing 2 relo brackets should change ur pinion angle but then after addind the brackets it should come back 2 the stock angle...
