QA1 k member install
So I figured out what the previous owner did with this car. Very strange.. It appears that the K member that was used is not the one that belongs in an A body. The rear part of it fits to the torsion bars and mounts to the frame with some modifications to the bolt holes. But the front mount did not match up with the mounting areas at all so they drilled through the frame and put bolts through it. Since the struts did not fit I am ordering new ones but I don't know if they will fit either. I think I have the k member from a B or E body QA1 part 52314 instead of 52313 which is for A body. Am I in for trouble using it like this? All sorts of things are coming into play, Camber, caster, alignment, engine mount placement. What to do????
