Hey ! I can't go to the carwash no more b/c my lca relocation bracket is riding on the rail that keeps the car on the track at the car wash. Has anyone else had this problem??   The bracket sits to low to the ground!

Check this out! If you think that this car can still go onto an carwash, Your are so very wrong!!!   The lca bracket is so low that the bracket will be riding on the carwash rail/track itself. So, people what do you all think about this????
This is one of the problems that steeda did'nt think of. Now the customer! me! Has only two options. Wash the car by hand in the dead of winter or swap out the lca & bracket for an adjustable lca.  Any feedback on this topic will be taking into consideration.

I see your issue, but swapping the LCA + bracket for an adjustable LCA doesn't make a lot of sense.

Adjustable arms are good for setting the pinion angle, but they don't really do the same thing as the relocation brackets. The brackets are designed to adjust the angle of the arms to compensate for lowering or enhance traction.

You could try "shopping" for a different car wash (the tracks are not standard height, some are lower than others)

Also, some of the small drive-in automatic washes such as you find at some service stations have no track at all. You just drive in, stop, and the equipment moves around the car.

I dont know about your car wash but i used to have a lifted truck that the tires were to big to fit in the track so they used to wash it by hand.Ask them and see.
