I did not lower my car, and you do need to worry about your pinion angle. I checked my pinion angle the same way as the video. I was off because when I torqued down the UCA,the axle was not raised to normal height. The magnetic angle finders at Home Depot came in handy. My car rides so much smoother now.

If you install a fixed UCA and the angle is off … you're stuck w/ it?

True... Unless you install LCA relocation brackets or adj LCAs.

I had to use some relocation brackets from Che. I also needed to have the axle loaded, before torquing the bolts down on the UCA. Which I did not do, and that was a problem also.
