How much for the K Member then?

AdderMk2

I have had nothing but problems with my QA1 K-member. If I had to do it all over again. I would have bought the AJE Racing K-member.

after installing my K-member, my front wheels were shifted further to one side than the other, so I had to drop the K out and enlarge the holes, so I could shift the whole thing over. Then I had to shift it as far back as I could, AND I had to max out my camber/caster plates to get my caster back close to spec.... I was NOT happy with my QA1 stuff

Did you have the QA1 control arms to or stockers?

AdderMk2

that is irrelevant... the K-member itself didnt fit properly. The components are supposed to be made to fit stock components..

SMKMUP

Detroit speed shops told me that the qa1 is only made for aftermarket arms, I know that doesnt affect the squareness of the k-member but they said it affects the location of the wheel cause it actually locates the wheel further back with there arms... My k-member fits really good I was just having the tire rubbing problem since I have stock arms...

AdderMk2

QA1 told me that it worked with the OEM arms.... so who is right...

the manufacturer, or the dealer (who is trying to tell you that you need to spend more money b/c the stuck stuff wont work)

SMKMUP

Oh I dont doubt it, there sold right in summit and jegs as uses stock arms, unfortuantely thats not the case in my scenario...

SMKMUP

So just to update you guys...I called QA1 today, the tech guy there said flat out, 99% of the time it wont work with stock componets, so I said, since 1% of the time it does work you can sell it as works with stock componets? Doesnt make very much sense to me, but he clearly stated the aftermarket arms will locate the wheels where they need to be about 1-1/2 inches back...So I guess 1% of the time something works you can sell it as works....[:@]

I did a bunch of research, I found lists folks compiled and called up a bunch of shops on my own too, what I found out at the time was that AJE and D&D *seemed* to make tubular K members that *could* replace the stock unit... basically allowing you to SWAP the stock K to the lighter tubular K, while retaining ALL other factory components. They also both offer the unit up in mild steel ( not 100% sure if both companies offer in chrome molly) I was looking around for a unit that would reduce weight increase clearance and look good while serving 90% on the street so determined that mild steel with its capibility to flex was the ticket. I am sorry to hear that the K member bought for the applicaiton in this case does not fit. I have heard a whole lot of goot things about AJE and how they take care of issues if arise. As far as I could determine (at the time) both k members would swap out the factory one but AJE had superior customer service. That is the unit I was going to get.

Is it possible that the unit in question was out of true?
Is it possible that the car in question was "torqued" the whole car very slightly tweeked?
How about: is it possible that the k member was labeled as the incorrect part number; you know for sn95 or the such....
what about just asking them to send you another unit to try, anyways those are the questions that flashed through my head when I read the first few posts, sorry if they were already brought up by other folks

ok I see its a QA1 that explains it[] sorry for your troubles!
haa ha I think you should keep your k member and build another mustang around it
that way you can keep all the other parts you bought and make another car for more serious stuff[8D]
