Okay, I thought they were the same thing, but in some of my searches I see people talking about having BOTH, so obviously they are different.

What is the difference between a crossmember and a k-member???

I guess techinically, the crossmember is part of the K member. The crossmember would be the part that runs under the oil pan. The K-member would be the whole assembly. Unless they are talking about a transmission crossmember. That is the bar that runs across the chassis that the rear transmission mount is bolted to.

Did that help?

Yes, that actually makes sense. Thanks.

cross member is the one hold your tranny. k member is the one held motor mount and lower control arm which is right below the oil pan

When I hear cross member I think of the tranny right away

Thanks, guys. So K-member = under the engine, Crossmember = under the tranny. Got it.
