Big Block Suspension Question

67BBCuda said
Hey Jim, we're in southern CA. Now we're at a crossroads now with the k-member and wanted to use your expertise. We ultimately put in all new PST suspension parts (sway bar, t-bar, tie rods etc...) but kept the original k-member. After doing so and taking it to an alignment shop, they're telling us that the k-member is bent and needs to be replaced. When it comes to replacing the k-member with a QA1 tubular one, will I have any issues down the road going from my SB to a BB? is it just a matter of modifying the mounting points?

Thanks in advance.

I’m with Jim on this one, if the K member bolted up the chances of it being bent are pretty low, unless you’ve got a bent frame rail to go with it. There may be other issues with the K, like a cracked steering box mount or LCA tube that’s broken loose, but that’s not the same as “bent”.

More than likely the alignment shop if blaming the K-frame for their inability to do a proper alignment with aftermarket parts. Did they say why they think it’s bent? Or give you the alignment specs they have set?
