there is a reason for it, I had the same problem with my first car. when i was 17 i bought a 93 hb lx this was 12 years ago and i was screwin around taking the car sideways and lost control wailed a 8 inch curb sustaining a mangled pony wheel and i pushed my k member back. solution put it on the lift grabbed a four ft pipe wedged it in my k member and used some leverage to set it back where it was supposed to go
