QA1 K Member

Can anyone tell me if the QA1 K member utilizes torsion bars and can a rack and pinion steering be mounted to it?
68 Dart.

Hi,

the QA1 K-Member is a stock replacement part.....a little more room for headers, maybe a Little lighter, i think a bit stiffer, too. It still uses the Torsion bars, and a rack and pinion steering is not a bolt-on deal.

It looks like the old CAP K member.
IIRC didnt the CAP K Member has provisions for a rack n pinion?

QA1 bought Caps old design its been beefed up it will not take rack & pinion nice piece

Since you’re in PA.... have you checked Tory Shelhammer’s tube K out? Appears to be a nice piece and priced right. Was on a drag week class winner in 2019

I saw that. I want a rack n pinion but still use my torsion bars like the old CAP K member.
Does anyone make one like that anymore?

Gotcha.... my Duster has coil overs. I’m lazy and found the torsion bars in the way of everything. From headers to oil pans and diapers . They had to go!

I’ll. Sell you my old DARE one. Lol.

What's a DARE setup look like?

Haha, yup he knows. Wonder if that joker is still alive? Jim

Dave Aydollette (sp). Went to his house one time to see what his stuff looked like before I bought an AJE. What a hack........

Unfortunately for me, the AJE stuff was just as big a piece of junk.

Good to know.

I fitted one to our Challenger. Still has torsion bars and stock steering. I kinda like it. Though it does move the steering back some as now a lot of it fouls the headers but i believe it does improve bump steer.
This is the only pic I have.

LRT?

I am fairly certain that LRT stopped making them years ago
