LS1 TUBULAR K-MEMBER INSTALLATION
PART # KM019 (CONTINUED)
21. If retaining the OE power rack and pinion, mount the rack to the K-member. Tighten the bolts to 80 ft/lbs.
22. Position one of the BMR polyurethane motor mount bushings onto each mount of the BMR K-member then lift the K-
member up into the car (IMAGE 2). This will require aligning multiple points while holding the weight of the K-member at
the same time so again, additional help will be required. Install and tighten all six (6) bolts.
23. Install the remaining two polyurethane motor mount
bushings on the bottom side of the motor stands along
with the provided washers and nuts. Lower the weight of
the motor onto the K-member then tighten the motor
stand nuts using a 15/16” socket. Tighten until the
polyurethane bushings just start to bulge. When
assembled correctly, the motor mount bushings should
look like IMAGE 3.
24. Reinstall the alternator. Reinstall the serpentine belt.
25. Attach the steering shaft to the rack and pinion and
tighten the bolt. There is an additional 11mm bolt at the
top of the steering shaft that may also be loosened to
allow steering shaft length adjustment, if necessary.
26. Reconnect both power steering lines and tighten.
27. Insert all four A-arm mounting bolts. If vehicle must be driven to an alignment shop, roughly center all mounting points in
the adjustment slots and tighten all four (4) bolts. If vehicle is at an alignment shop, leave loose until installation is complete.
28. Insert tie rods into spindles and tighten both castle nuts. Insert new cotter pins.
29. Reinstall starter.
30. Slightly bend the factory brake lines to conform to the new K-member and then zip-tie them into place.
31. Bend the ends of the brake lines in such a way that the mounting brackets line up with the brake line mounting tabs on the K-
member. You may also have to cut the OE brackets and re-bend them in order to fit properly. Insert bolts and tighten. Once
connected, the brake lines should look similar to IMAGE 4 below.
32. Re install sway bar.
33. Lower vehicle and reconnect battery.
34. Take vehicle to a reputable alignment shop to align the front suspension.
