PA / Profab K member with Spohn arms ?

Anyone tried fitting the two together ?

From what I understand the stock A Arms wont bolt right up with the profab / pa k members, and the spohn a arms will bolt right into a stock K member.

Anyone know that the spohn arms will bolt right to a pa / profab K ?

looking at the pics online.... yes they would.

the spacing is identical to the stock pieces... its just that the stock pieces are so thick that they hit the crossbar.

steves looks exactly like theirs in that area, so they should work just fine.

I would have to guess they will bolt right up. I just installed the PA tubular a-arms on my car and they fit right in, so I would guess the other way should work too.

Am in the process of installing Spohn LCA's (finally). I have put them in without springs and they fit fine in PA k-member. The front of the arm is very close to the front cross tube in k-member as seen in pix.

Mark,

Color and shape wise, they look like the Spohn Extreme Duty tie rod adjusters.

I believe they are hotchkiss...they are about 9 or 10 years old and purchased through either summit or jegs (under all the scum and overspray they are powdercoated red).

if the bolts for your tie rod adjuster faces inward, they make thoes scrape marks.... flip them around and they JUST clear.

I didn't think of that. I thought it was the inner tire rod end. Thanks!
