Can't find a pic
« on: February 06, 2006, 12:54:07 PM »

I saw a picture last night that shows what I'm looking for.  On the drivers side, on the front wheel A frame assembly, there is a shaft running into the frame.  Maybe 12" long with some rubber busshing in it.  That piece is not right, It's pushed forward a little.  I found a picture on here last night that shows what I'm talking about, anyone have a pic or link to one?  It is on my 66 Dart GT.  dunno if that help.  I don't know how it was pushed forward, but it also broke/tore some of the metal behind it.  I believe it can be heated, bent, welded and reinforced.

I called the guy who has a bunch of old junked out Darts, and he said that I could have another K-Member if I would take it out.  How hard is it to take a K member out of a car that is 40 years old??

that sounds like a strut rod. as to take a 40 year old k-frame out. i took one out a a 67 b-body exposed to the elements that came out real easy but the car had no motor, bring plenty of wd-40 big hammers and pry bars and say a prayer. some can be a bitch

Brian, k-members aren't taht hard, but are time consuming. You need to determine if you actually need one, though. The k-member is re-inforced where the strut rod bushing goes and those don't give way very often. Take some pics and let us take a look at what you have wrong.

Jim,

I will definitely take some pics.  I have to wait til this weekend though.  I am an hour away from my parents house where the car is and I can't justify spending 20$ on gas and snappnig pics in the dark freezing my ass off.  I'll get some posted this weekend.

Brian

I'm pulling the motor so that I can see everything down there.  Expect many pics  :-)
