K Frame Install

[JR_Charger]

Any chance this is easier on a B body? I'm thinking of getting a QA1 tubular K frame for my 72 Charger. It would help seal the deal if Mopars didn't have this alignment issue.

FWIW my front suspension is completely off ATM.

There is no alignment on the K member it bolts on with 4 large bolts.

Do you have the QA1 k frame? The Eric the Car Guy vid says the mounting holes in the frame are slotted for adjustment. I can't find a picture of the QA1 Fox body k frame that shows the bolt holes, but from the side it looks like it's held on with four bolts as well - Link I'd assume the B body k frame also has slotted holes, but I'd love to hear different.

If I can pop off the old frame and put the QA1 on without alignment issues, that's definitely the way I'm going.

I guess I should also ask if the QA1 k frame is drag oriented or handling oriented. Pretty sure it's the latter, but I found an article about the Fox frame that says it has changes for drag racing. QA1 could make multiple Fox frames though, and only one B body frame.

Once you replace a K-Frame the car still should have the alignment checked and corrected as needed.

Especially since I've got the whole suspension off, but I was referring to the alignment of the K frame, per the Eric the Car Guy video.
