K member removal and rebuild ?

[Scatpack]

Does anyone know of a webpage and pics of proper K member Removal and rebuild?

thanks!

Excuse my noobness but what is there to rebuild on a k member? I thought you just blast them and coat them, assuming they're still good and not rusted out??

Well i want to remove and rebuild all the bushing, never taken one out of the car b4

Like Finn said, theres nothing to rebuild. You just disassemble the suspension, unbolt, drop, blast, paint, etc. Then you put all your new stuff on. I had little extra welding done to mine, to stiffen it.

They are probably referring to the lower control arm(LCA)
bushings.

You are most likely thinking of 73 and later cars that use a rubber isolator on the K member like a Chevy camaro or nova...    no your 68 does not use them

Thanks for the info.

Yeah all those extra suspension bushings started appearing in 73. I just finished a 74 sattelite and 74 charger. I was suprised how many bushings were added to these cars compared to my 71 charger.
8 bushings on the k-fram and 4 on the torsion bar frame rail. Hven't driven the 74 charger yet as its still getting work but the Satellite sure is a smooth ride.
