K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

AAndrews said

Thanks for the update 72 bluNblu.

I stand corrected on QA-1 being formed when CAP went away. I obviously mis interpreted what I read . I saw pics of the Cap weld failures though when I was researching Suspension options and read numerous comments on the poor welds , hence my concerns about buying their products. As I stated though, a lot of members on here are using QA-1 products with no issues so all good.

I myself run the QA1 tubular LCA's on my Duster. I have one of the earlier versions before they redesigned and added the bump stops, so the version I have is almost identical to the CAP tubular LCA's that had a weld crack on my Challenger. I've had no issues with the QA1 version, and the build quality improvement is obvious. Although it was entirely unnecessary I did add gussets to the QA1 LCA's based on where the CAP LCA cracked, just overkill on my part. You can see what I did here

Most of the failures on the CAP parts I saw were the UCA's, which again, QA1 completely redesigned. The QA1 UCA looks nothing like the old CAP UCA's.
