Default New K-member messing up alignment.

I have recently put in a new light weight k-member and found that my front wheels tilt in at the top and out at the bottom. Do I need after market control arms, or is there a bigger problem i need to have adressed?

you probably need to get a chamber kit and a new alignment and yes i would suggest taking it to somebody and getting another opinion as well just to make sure, really find out what the problem is, is the k-member in thre front?

I'm assuming you installed a tubular K-member. Changing any of the stock suspension parts changes the geometry of the car. Get a set of CC plates ( I suggest Maximum Motorsports) buy them of AM they are priced nice and free shipping is a plus. Tubular A-arms are not required with an aftermarket K member but they usually go hand in hand.

There is only one K member and yes it is in the front.

What K member do you have? What A arms did you go with and is your car lowered any?

How are you giving advice when you don't even know where the K-member is located?

Not to mention alot of times they are shorter and I believe it is because of some problems like this and they have a few other advantages.
