K-Member Brace
    The stock K-member is designed as a mounting point for the front control arms and the engine. It is also bolted to the chassis and becomes a structural member of the chassis and front suspension.
    The stock K-member is not capable of handling all of the suspension forces directed into the side of it by the front control arms during extreme cornering. These forces cause the K-member to deflect, leading to alignment changes.
    The MM 4-Point K-Member brace reduces flex by bracing across the K-member providing a load path into the chassis. This bracing is done at the rear of the K-member (the area of greatest deflection) - see photo.		  






 		   4-Point K-Member brace:
 
  • The MM brace mounts to the K-member in the front and the K-Member and chassis in the rear.

     
  • The MM K-Member brace's design includes a structural steel web, so the suspension loads are fed into the unibody as well as across the K-member. Due to the combined strength of the web and 1" tubing, our K-member brace does not flex.

     
  • The mounting bolts for the brace attach through a structural tube, which transfers the suspension loads into the MM brace without it deflecting.

     
  • 4-Point braces will not clear long-tube headers. MMKB2-2 will clear some. Call our tech line for more information.

2-Point K-Member brace:

The 4-point K-Member Braces may have a slight interference with the automatic transmisions' cooler lines. These lines can be relocated slightly, or use 2-Point K-Member Brace MMKB2-2 instead of the 4-Point K-Member Brace.
