Re: Tubular K member
I bought the ground pounder tubular k-member, arms and coil-over. Well. I had issues. Lots of issues. Motor wouldnt drop in with the tranny on. 7 qt oil pan wouldnt clear the motor mount on the drivers side. The rack mount was askew by just a few degrees and the rack and pinion wouldnt go on. Had to cut off one mount and install, tack, remove and reweld the mount. The steering shaft hits the motor mount. Had to clearance the motor mount. Hardware for the rack and pinion. Stock k-member uses a 5/8 diameter bolt, need 2 1/2' 6 inch long grade 10 bolt. Try finding two of those. The k-member had issues being installed as well. The rear mounting points were to wide. The coil overs dont have anyway of locking to prevent from spinning and changing your ride height.
