Default new bushings for kmember install
Just ordered a UMI kmember for my 00 z28. Thinking I should install new bushings for the kmember as well. Anybody know where I can get these with the going through the dealership? Any sponsers?

maybe i'm crazy, but i believe the k-member solidly mounts to the car without bushings. Atleast my UMI k-member appears to. Are you referring to control arm bushings?

No, Im talking about the kmember. I don't know if its solid or not. Never removed one before. Just want to have everything ready.

Hey cosmos. Our k-member bolts on directly metal to metal. You should be good to go when it arrives.

Thanks for your order!

Agree, let me know if it's engine mount related and I can help as well. Which model k-member did you order(i.e. for which engine)?

Did you bolt the k-member to the car metal to metal yet? It should bolt right in using the factory fasteners.

Image 7, 8 and 9 of this install shows some good views of how it bolts in.

Let me know if this helps.
