Are there any aftermarket tubular control that can fit on the stock K member? Which brand is recommended?

My car use for it will just be daily use and the occasional street and highway pulls. I've heard that some aftermarket lower control arms won't fit on the stock K member.

Most fit but you will need to grind the k member a little bit for clearance.. i ran a MM non-offset A arm on my 82 with stock k member.. just followed the instructions on grinding the k member and never had any issues..

Hey Bullitt3042,

Most control arms fit a stock K member. You just simply need to provide a little bit of clearance to make it work. But essentially, it has the same "dimensions" as the factory arms.

let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

- Michael
