Camaro k member installation

YOu should have some new bolts that are shorter for the new bottom shock mounts. YOu can use the old nuts since i got the wrong sized nuts for the bolts dont tighten yet but get them into position Mate the lower ball joints to the spindal and toque it down until it stops, then install supplied new cotter pin same for upper by the way lol Tighten down the lower shock bolts as well now.

Now is the time for new hubs If you are using a C5 bracket feed the bolts in through the bracket, through the spindal and into the hub If doing new Braided lines, nows the time to do it then bolt the brake braket back on to the new K-member The put the rest of your brakes back together Be a good time to get your brakes done pads, rotors should end up with somthing like this But your not done yet!

Anything you touched double check it. Triple check it. Check torque specs to ensure everything is good. YOur toe should be fine, it will be camber and caster that need more attention. Please let me know and ill add too or take away as nesscary. Great write up!!!! I have yet to do this so I am going to assume you didn't leave anything out.

I am sure others will chime in and correct or confirm what you have written. Originally Posted by 02Sweet. I went to replace my cracked drivers side rotor and wound up doing a tire swap.

The only PITA was aligning the the motor mounts to tne new k member and trying to feed the bolts in. Other then that it was pretty much a straight forward install. Getting the kmember up snd boltong by myself was a task but with a friend u can have an easier time lol.

I thought you should never put anything on the oil pan because the weight of the engine would crush it. Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page:. Similar Threads Aftermarket K-member, upper and lower control arms??? By rll2 in forum Suspension and Handling.

Every detail of the factory k-member was incorporated, including all five brake line mounts. There's no "zip tying" of the brake lines with our k-member. Build Specifications and Features :. Options :. K-members are available with no motor mount pads for those who will be using a front motor plate, or with motor mount pads that will allow installation of the factory LT1 motor mount bushing stands.

Note : If you will be using any block mounted motor mounts then you must get the motor mount pads installed on the k-member. The motor mount pads are what the block mounted motor mounts bolt fast to on the k-member. K-members can be set up for the factory steering rack or for mounting a Spohn Pinto manual rack kit. If you will be installing our manual rack kit choose this option and the k-member will come with the additional required rack mount installed shown installed in the picture above.

Note: Although this K-member allows easy installation of a small block or big block Chevrolet engine modifications to firewall and other areas may be necessary for proper engine clearance.
