reinforced k frame - is it worth it
Get the k-member out and cleaned up. Unless you need the car running there's no real good reason not to. I've got a hot tank so every k-member spends a day or two getting cleaned. I have found some very ugly original work and some very ugly repair work...This was my son's K-member. We've put about 35k miles on this one without noticing the damage. I removed the pin (I have a jig that puts it in the proper position) and repaired the k-member. The "repair" prevented the pin from fully seating.
