First off I have a '89 LX vert with a damaged oil pan thanks to the sway bar. (Problem fixed due to MM Sway Bar Relocation Kit) Well now the pan is past the point of being "okay", leaks from front plug like crazy. Been getting by since 2009 but now the pan has had it.
I know 3 ways to change the oil pan from these forums.
1. Pull Engine.
2. Drop K-Member.
3. Jack up engine and try to dance it out. (Sounds frustrating)
Option 2 seems best.
I am looking at the QA1, UPR Tubular K-Member from LMR. Or maybe the Maximum Motor sports but the price point is driving to QA1. I have many Maximum Motorsports parts on mine.
Looking for easy, as this is 99% cruse car that sees 1-2 trips to the strip and is not a daily driver.
So I am wanting to know are the tubular k-members easy to install? Bolt in?
Can I stick with my current spring and shock combo or do I have to go coil over?
What all is required? I assumed control arms.
Any input would be GREAT as I know this board has saved my ass many times.
Thanks in advance.
