What a piece of f!!!!!ing crap!
Binds everywhere, not enough travel, cant turn the wheels enough as the r&p joints hits the lower control arms! But lets say you launch the car so susp raises then need to turn the wheels alot the joints can pass the control arms but then the control arm cant go back because the rack is in the way. That would cause the steering to lock and one side suspension lock. This is freakin dangerous!!!

It was on a car i bought and when i installed the wheels they are so far out the tires WILL hit the fenders. So i started to look deeper into it and found all this crap.
I will put up some pics so you can see what i mean.
I will also contact the a$$holes and see what they say.

I had one in my car for about 6 months. I had the same issues with the track width being wider than stock as well as the ride height. I was not happy with the K-frame.

At least someone was able to bolt it to the frame lol.

The best one out there I've had personal experience with is AlterK by Reilly motorsports. I've been 172 with one and it was arrow straight. easy, and perfect to install, no bump steer even with only .060 toe, and butter to steer. On launch, I never felt the tires leave the ground, nor felt them return. Smooth, nothing like what it felt like before.

Yeah those tires are way out there.. also the knuckle
on the rack looks to be at the end of its travel(angle)
right now... that thing does have some issues.. plus
the tie rod is either bent or its just a piece of
tube just to mock up the tie rod

What a mess , it looks like the lower A arm is also bent ?

It appears to me that the rack should have been set up either up higher so the tirod passed above it , but then on full suspenison compression it would have hit the rack , or been a lot further forward ... or BOTH ????

What a poor design .

A arms are like that from mf.
If i could lower the r&p it would clear. But it would need to be a fair amount witch is not possible without redoing the k member.
Looks like if i switch sides on a arms and turn them upside down it would clear the steering. But i would need to weld in new shock mounts and realign the lower balljoint.
I feel like maybe its not worth messing with a crappy piece like this. Maybe if i get it running welds starts to break...

There's something not right for sure. I have a mf and don't have any of the issues your clearly having. I'm at work at the moment but I'll have more of a look when I get off. Here's pic of mine

Definitely something wrong there. My M/F frontend doesn`t look anything like that. And mine is 10 years old. Somebody`s been modifyin`. Think I`d pull that one out!
