qa1 tubular k member install

[SLOBERT65]

Putting my new k member in my 91 GT today and ran into a issue with the rear most lower control arm bolts not fitting because of the collar on the bolt not clearing the k member. I am using stock lca's. Anyone ever ran into this problem? If so what did you guys do to correct the issue?

Yep ran into that problem, fixed it by throwing it in the trash can, or selling it cheap.

grind off the collar on the bolt and use a good washer.... grind the washer if needed

Yep, what he said...If I am not mistaken the instructions even tell you to do so.

Tried grinding some, I guess I will try some more when I get a chance. If it does not work for me anyone looking for a good deal on a k member?

 

[steve581581]

im gonna be looking for a good deal on one before the spring... you can always buy another bolt or drill a new hole but i dont know exactly what your looking at... fyi... the wing of a 747 is held on by two bolts... make sure you buy the good ones if you get a new one

Yep, instructions say to grind head flat on one side of the bolt. right up to the shank.

Always remember, if there is no cutting or grinding involved it isn't a true bolt on!

Well I have the bolt issue fixed and now have ran into another snag. I am installing H&R springs and when the bottom of the spring is in, the top of the spring is to the left about 3 inches or so away from the top perch cup. Anyone else run into this problem?

 

[SLOBERT65]

Anyone?

get ride of the shit and get a good coil-over setup....problem solved

 

[SLOBERT65]

As it sits right now if someone wanted to make me a decent offer on these brand new H&R's I just bought I would.
