[QUOTE="FOURCED, post: 3900646, member: 16076"] The tires will be pushed 3/4" forward as the MM k-member with the standard offset a-arms move the wheelbase forward by 3/4". If you opt for the offset a-arms then the wheelbase goes abou 1 1/2" forward and that really would cause some fender rubbing problems :) Did you make sure to square the k-member in relation to the chassis? I'm sure this was done but it could cause the symptoms you're stating. The k-member should be square to the rear control arm attachment points (where rear control arms bolt up/or IRS subframe front attachment points). You should have used a plumb bob to get the K square... measuring front to back and then diagonally as well. ShelbyGuy I too am wondering what you are referring to as far as setting camber where the strut meets the steering knuckle? I took the shocks loose last night (taking springs out) and when I loosened up the bolts from the strut to the knuckle there wasn't much of any play there whatsoever. As far as I can visually tell the holes in the knuckles have no "oblong" shape to them. There might be at best 1/16" of play in between the two when the bolts are loose. What am I missing here exactly? Hope this helps some Don. Shannon [/QUOTE]
