Qa1 K member

[gpwood]

Help!
I put in a new QA1 K member in my 67 Belvedere I along with new upper and lower control arms, strut bars from QA1, and sway bar, upgraded to disc brakes. Put tires and wheels on and tires nearly rub on front quarter towards front of car, with weight or car down they do? what did I do wrong? Help and suggestions would be welcome!

Did you order it set up for disc brakes? I don't think there's any differences but never know??

Disc brakes has nothing to do with that. My guess is you have the strut rods adjusted too tight, they are pulling the LCA forward.

This is what ya need to do. Pull the tires off, tb’s, and shocks. Loosen the strut rods and cycle the LCA and UCA up/down and then tighten the strut rod. Put everything back together and sit it on it’s own weight. Roll back/forth a few feet to settle the suspension. Now torque everything to spec. Tires still hit? What size are they? Did you use the rear factory k-frame bolts in the QA1?

Copy that! I will do this. Tires are 15" P225/75R 15's, they were fine before I changed everything. I did use factory k bolts. I will try this and post what the outcome is. Thanks for the help!!
