Squaring Up the K-Member
3.
To square up the new K-member, take a measurement from both rear K-member mounting tabs and measure
back to a stationary chassis item like the lower trailing arm mounting bolts. Also take a cross measurement and
adjust K-member accordingly so that the measurement is square to the car.
4.
Re-install the control arm pivot joints to the new K-member using the supplied hardware (MUST USE LOCTITE).
Note that the supplied 1.8” dia. stainless washer will need to be installed in the correct position
(

)
dependent on whether the factory or QA1 Street Series arms will be used. If using QA1 Race Series arms, refer
to instructions included with arms. Torque control arms to 130 lb-ft *WHILE VEHICLE IS AT RIDE HEIGHT*.

5.
Install the steering rack to the new K-member. The new QA1 K-member will come with four stainless steering
rack tabs to ensure proper rack alignment with the tie rods. Install two tabs into the front of the K-member
steering mount and two in the back of the steering mount. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THE TABS ARE INSTALLED
WITH THE CORRECT HOLE ORIENTATION FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO AVOID UNWANTED BUMPSTEER.
