Why wouldn't you correct bump steer? That would be dumbest thing not to correct.

Really??, Thats not what Tory states! 
Jason, You need to stop posting in Torys behalf, Your only hurting his credibility IMO.
This thread could use 23 more posts of his vs 23 of yours. No offense intended, 
Yeah.. I'll keep that in mind thanks for the wise words key board commando!

To my knowledge GM and Ford have front steering for a long time. The pinto for example since 1971, that I know of. They don't have bump steer or ackerman issues. Why would he waste time fixing bump steer?????? Really?? you're asking that question... Obviously you've never driven a car with bump steer. It's scary and with any amount of horsepower, you can be sure you'll see the wall...... If he hasn't fixed it he should just to save his A$$ from a lawsuit.....

Why would he waste his time correcting or reinventing the wheel when he can just copy and use what he knows works in the GM and Phord products?
He did make adjustments, He stated he did. As does Anybody who makes one of these things has to.
Believe it or not , Im for the guy! Id Like to see him Succeed with a Great Product.
I dont understand this Sharade deal thats going on, IMO between you and him. Your like a pawn.
Like I said I think your hurting, him.
Tory, and Tory only! I like your efforts on the K build. Keep it up! Your car sounds great, and love it. I too played it several times for enjoyment mike

Sorry Wicked, no monies exchanged yet.  It's real easy to get in contact with Tory, his Email is on his profile. Wicked didn't you make a K frame? I'd like to see pictures of it a compare them with others. Was it for a Street or Strip car? Any issues? Jason

I'm Lee
I have a Duster with an LRT K frame, been on the car since 2005. Have been working with LRT to get rid of the brake shake. Have tried several different things with limited sucess. The car gets raced alot, almost 200 passes last year. Was just asking what other guys did to eliminate the brake shake. I would like to keep the torsion bars, thats why I am trying to fix the LRT K-frame instead of buying another one.

W9, That's a good thing! He started a public thread to promote his product he should be willing to answer publicly. I don't have a k-frame to market, nor do I intend to, nor do I intend to rip-off his ripped-off design. If he wants to keep it a secret then it will end up as one Glad to see you are doing some research though

When I first got on this thread I took it that someone new was marketing K-members. Didn't realize this was just a guy building his own.
But, otherwise my comments still stand.
Something else I would like to comment on. K-members are being built for Ford and Chevies. There are a lot of them that have trouble. Don't let the crybaby Mopar guy fool you. You know the guy that thinks everything is lovely in Bowtie and Horsie land. Just not so. They are just quite about there troubles especially when around Mopar guys. LOL
Oh, Passenger side rack mount should have nothing to do with brake shake. I have ran with the bolt out of the mount altogether and had no shake. Geometry problems cause shakes not thin tubing, bad welds, or any of the other myths about front suspensions.
