Quote: I still have a stock, unmodified K-member in my '73 Dart. Since the K-member in my car has been powdercoated at one time, adding reinforcements while mounted in the car is a bit hard to do at the moment. I do want to gusset the steeringbox mount but that will probably be when I'm ready to an engine swap in the car.
Just out of the blue I decided to add a simple plate to gusset and reinforce the steeringbox-mount a little better. I made the plate large enough to reach the areas where I could still easily clean the powder coating off the member with an angle grinder.
I also welded a plate across the bottoms of the LCA's and welded the tierod sleeves in the centers.
When I took the car for a spin after this I tought I could feel the steering felt a bit tighter and more direct. But the improvement was much yet.
