I wouldn't call the Hal excellent quality but I did manage to get mine to work with a lot of grinding.
Three things were a problem. The rear A-arm bolts won't go in from the rear even after grinding down the shoulder. I had to finally grind down the nut used on the bolt and then it barely fit. I feel the nut is greatly weakened now with having one flat ground almost away. They need to fix this!
The second problem is the steering rack is not in the factory position now. I had to pull my steering column out about 1/2" in order for the steering shaft to reach the flange. I don't know if this is safe or not having the steering column out this far.
Third problem is the welded on arms for holding the A-arms are to wide. I went to the hardware store and bought washers to shim it so the A-arm would not slide back and forth when braking.
I don't understand why aftermarket suppliers can't make things right. These problems should be fixed. They have been selling these Kmembers too long to have these kind of problems.
This is my second Kmember. I had a Ground Pounder first and the motor mount brakets failed due to my torque. Also many other problems. The Ground Pounder is a piece of garage for sure!
