Help with rearend suspension please-misaligned

I installed spohn non-adjustable lower control arms and relocation brackets. The lca's are in the lowest hole in the relocation brackets and the brackets are just bolted in and not yet welded, but will be. After the install my car seems to pull to the right more. What could cause this and how can I fix it? I don't want to weld the relocation brackets in that position if they are the culprits. Also, the tire pressure is equal on all four tires. Thanks.

Running weld-in relo brackets, without bothering to get them welded in is not safe. There is nothing holding the relo brackets in place when you accelerate and the body pushes the LCA back on the brackets. The rear axle will be moving forward and backwards, all over the place. In addition to risking your life, you may damage the brackets.

Only the BMR "bolt-in" brackets with the extra tab connected to the shock bolt are safe to run withou welding.

Yeah, man. Get those welded up! Even the BMR bolt-in RLBs that Injuneer mentioned should be welded-in IMHO.
