2011 GT Front Suspension MODS

[luillo]

So far i used my UPR Front Swaybar Delete/Radiator Support with no problem and i looked at the K-member and A-arms and they look the same as previous S197. I am planing to use my K-member setup but i need to tech help here from those how know and have been under the new 2011 GT...

On the Letha Performance web site the are selling a BMR front K-member and is the same Part number as the old one so i assume is the same parts.

I dont see any problem with the A-Arms but i am not too sure about the K-member because of the new assisted power steering. I will make a call to the during the week to make sure is ok to use the K-member but if some body can give some advice it will be nice...

Big help there

According to the Ford part numbers, the 2011 K-member is different from the 05-10. I have no idea what's different, but they are different numbers.

i try to call them but it was too late. I work midnight shift and it makes it hard for me to wake up on time to call the companies.

yes sir. The only difference is that the 2011 have an extra 2 supports bars that attach to the radiator support coming from the K-member. You can take them out or do what i did.

I install them back to the K-member and zip tie them to the UPR Rad/support with two pieces of foam under that way i dont have any noise or scratches in the UPR bar. You only need them to put the plastic cover under the car. I did it to make the car look as stock as possible.

i will post picture later

 

[luillo]

i think i will go under the car to measure the distance, high and location of the power steering bolts from the stock K-member and the the BMR and see if is possible. then i will call the vendors and verify. By just looking at it, the K-member it self is the same but the power steering cover so much that it might be different.

THANK YOU

well, i just got off the phone with a representative of BMR and i asked him the K-member question and he told me that it will not fit so i will need to call Lethal and ask about what are they selling there.


DAMN IT.LOL
