Re: PA Racing Tubular K member question

yes, they will but you need to order the K member for stock a-arms. You will need to flip the center link to get the steering to work.

that option wasnt available when i purchased mine.

of course they werent. i call jason and he said the stock bolts work... which is again not true.

does flipping the centerlink have any affects on steering?

Re: PA Racing Tubular K member question

Stock arms will work as long as you let me know you want to use them(we also build tubular ones for stock springs). As for the bolt they are not included nor have ever been but I do sell a bolt kit that is extra. Have more questions let me know.

Flipping the center link doesn't effect the steering that I have noticed as long as you reset the toe. I have had nothing but great service from PA Racing. For street strip they have the best value out there. Plus shipping time is very quick.

Re: PA Racing Tubular K member question

Hi
I do not know the difference from a K-member used with rack and a K-member used with stock steering.
But mine PA K-member is not with any mounts for a rack and the previous ovner did use this one with no modification on the steering.
He had a Camaro.

I have a Firebird/Trans Am, and to do some mod's:
When I did try to mount the K-member it did interfere with my stock inner tie rod knuckle. My solution was to flilp the center link so the knuckle come forward from the center link.

If someone have other experience, then come with pictures!

I give you picture from my mounting (after I turn the center link), you might be able to see that if you turn the center link now it will interfere with steering.

PA have by the way not respond to my question I did send to them about this problem!
So to me they are not that good with service.
