Default k memeber alignment
About a week ago i dropped my k member to be able to change my oil pan, ever since then i started noticing my car pulling a little bit to the right. I took it to get it aligned today and after a long time of trying to get it right they came to the conclucion that the k member is not properly centered. So my question is is there a proper way to get it centered? are there any tips on the measurements i should follow?

Thanks in advance for your help guys

Im not sure how it could be off center because it has alignment pins on it.

actually you will probably need an alignment. Did you drop the lower a arms along with the k member when you dropped that?

As long as the alignment dowels are located properly in the frame the k-member alinment is fine. I would try a different alignment shop
