[Owned]

SO i just finished installing my qa1 k member reused the stock a arms, now the problem is the toe on the alignment it out bad. one wheel will be pointing straight one will be pointing slightly left or right. do i just need a good alignment or did i mess something up on the rack/pinion???

take to get an alignment, you should always have the alignment checked any time you replace a front suspension part.

Do not drive it like that. Rough in the alignment and then drive it to a shop or just have it moved on a flatbed.

lol that's a bit overkill... It's not that big a deal to drive a car that's out of alignment for a lil bit.

But yeah you need an alignment. Make sure they adjust camber, toe, and if you have CC plates caster. Some shops just change the toe and let ya go.

when you installed the k-member, did you mark down all the measurements with plumbbobs? i know its not from the same company, but the instructions that MM gives for their K-Member are excellent.

if i were you i would get it flat-bed towed to an alignment shop before you drive it.

Tube K is bolt on - per say.
But u have to take all sorts of measurement(like that on MM instruction), or else your aligment will be all out of whack....
