Bmr K member Broke!!!!!!! so i pulled into a parking lot and heard a loud pop. drove 3 blocks home and thought i just broke a tie rod.
today we finally got a decent day so i could go out in the garage and look at it and i found out my k member is broken.
i have power steering fluid all over so i think my rack is done also.
sad part is this k member isnt even a year old and barely had 5k miles on it.
i cant believe how rusty that is. i never drove the car in snow or in salt . maybe rain a couple times.i am contacting bmr on monday about this.

i was just informed that the k member is over 2 years old. either way BMR told me they are standing behind their product which is awesome.

I never have trusted those things, alot of the third gen guys bought the tubular LS1 K-members and had problems with them breaking which is why I didn't buy one. Personally, the K-member is a major support point of the car so why would you want to use less material which is lighter but not as strong. I just don't see the point. This is just my worthless opinion but I haven't been convinced they are worth the money and weight savings yet... Hope you get a new one and get the car back on the road.
