Mustang Tubular K Member Install

[@orange1soda]

Hey nice to see todays youth doing this stuff alone.its a oain but you saved yourself 700 dollars .cant beat that.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Saved myself $700 and wanted to help others do the same by making this vid!

[@ryanthurman9223]

lol his go pro is picking up his heart beat. dope

[@karenwilliams2232]

I did notice that the nut that has the rubber in it, on your motor mount is installed backwards. Probably won't matter! I was thinking on doing this, but way to much work for me. Thanks Great video!!

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thats a great catch, I did realize this later as I just had it sitting there to hold it in place! Thank you for the feedback!

[@rebel9846]

Always face the nylon out. If for no other reason, starting with the metal side will allow you to make sure the nut is threaded properly before the nylon bites.

[@ThatblackEclipse]

Comes in clutch years later fr seen both videos and man I already have the engine taken apart for an head gasket this is one of those things we’ll since I’m there might as well type of deal for me now cause I need the oil pan out and Yk how that goes 😭 also where did you get the engine mounts for the k member

[@Thatlowdsg]

At the time when I bought it on Aje's website it was included, but id double check if it still is. Glad the vids could be of use as well and with the k member dropped or removed you'll tackle the oil pan with ease.

Subscribed for the great new edge content

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you!! There’s much more to come for sure!

[@LiftedWrangler]

Might look into this eventually. Just put a k frame in my honda prelude.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Nice man those preludes getting more rare by the moment!

[@geraldchapman2272]

Bro I bought this K member in 2016 this was the first one they had built in a long time and they actually forgot that the motor was pushed to the passenger side to inches and it took me a year and three months to get everything situated on my car through the manufacturer that made the key member multiple motor mounts were made for me a lot of emails back-and-forth they did finally get me situated but not until they had a 2003 or four mustang cobra come into their shop in Illinois or Indiana that one of the identical set up that I was doing to my car so they got him situated and then sent me a whole new frame because they built the first K member frame center lined on the motor mounts which as I said before the passenger side is pushed over 2 inches. So all in all you are welcome because if it wasn’t for me and that other guy in 2016 you might not have correct parts in 2020

[@Thatlowdsg]

Rounds on me then to you Gerald. You two set the foundation! I was concerned it may not sit right but I guess cause of you guys it does, so thanks!

[@rush4s431]

Was there anything additional you had to order with the swap? And can you run any brand of coil over ?

[@Thatlowdsg]

I had BC coil over. I don't think it matters the brand you run but if you don't and use the factory front springs you'll have to order their spring perches. Other than that there's nothing additional

[@NuisanceRacing]

Great video, thinking about ordering one soon for my Mustang.SUBBED!

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you & welcome to the channel! Yeah the AJE one is great only custom thing I had to do was to smack the mounting spots where the control arms where a little forwards but I think its cause I’m running the stock control arms!

[@NuisanceRacing]

@@Thatlowdsg are you running coilovers or still using stock springs in stock location? I know alot of the k members say you HAVE to use aftermarket control arms and coilovers.

[@Thatlowdsg]

@@NuisanceRacing The K I bought you can reuse your control arms and all factory equipment, but they say with the coil over it'll be a better experience. Im running coil overs tho I have separate vids of me installing those and my aje tubular k member!

[@shanepettit6872]

How’s the K member holding up? What kind was it? If you still got it. 3years ago probably in college by now or something😂 If you do I would like to know looks like maybe an Aje?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Its an AJE and Its the best thing I've done to the car. Feels quicker and it holds up well, AJE is a good brand Id recommend, and no college is where you go to get indoctrinated and owe 100k in debt lol.

[@shanepettit6872]

@@Thatlowdsg Hell yeah! Aint that the truth. I just got an AJE as well and was wondering how well they held up. Thanks man!

[@joshuahiggins5313]

Torque specs for tubular k-member to frame and motor mounts please?

[@oga7850]

Is that k member only for the 4.6 or could it also work with the coyote 5.0

[@Thatlowdsg]

That one just works for the 4.6. I think AJE does make a 5.0 one as well

[@Garrett89]

got a 97 cobra. with the AJE, can I use the OEM front control arms with this without any issues? Thanks

[@Thatlowdsg]

If you’re using springs you’ll need the spring perch add on by AJE for the front, if you have coil overs you’re good. I’ve had the stock control arms on my AJE tubular for years now and never had issues! Hope it helps

[@Garrett89]

Thanks for the quick reply. Where did you order this K member from? Do you have the product # so I know I get the right one? Thanks in advance@@Thatlowdsg

[@Garrett89]

Did you have any issue with the steering shaft going onto the steering rack with enough room? I heard these can lower the steering rack up to 3/4 of an inch. Thanks @@Thatlowdsg

[@Thatlowdsg]

@@Garrett89 My Stock one bolted up just fine, I also have a Maximum motor sports one I installed and it worked perfectly too.

[@TheModAddict]

It looks like a lot..but im still looking forward to installing my k member. My support brace SHOULD be in tomorrow.

[@Thatlowdsg]

It can be a lot but I believe you got this! A certified good luck to you! 👍🏼

[@adamburgess2165]

How does the tubular k member feel on the car

[@Thatlowdsg]

Have had 0 issues past 3 years it’s on. Right away you feel the car being quicker in my opinion. Can’t say anything bad with it, AJE did a good job with their K member.

[@jesusnunez6503]

Quick dumb question man are the metal straps on the wiring harness grounds?

[@Thatlowdsg]

No question is dumb! But if you’re referring to the ones that connect to the motor mounts yes those are grounds make sure those connections are tight!

[@the__black__box]

What brand K-member do you recommend?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Sorry on the late reply but I’d Recommend AJE, Maximum Motorsport. Haven’t really heard much about other brands honestly. Maybe UPR?

[@lolz5956]

Dope I'm about to do this soon!

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hey welcome to the channel homie, hope you enjoy your stay and find the videos helpful! Goodluck!!

[@TheOptionalKind]

do you think this works on a v6 motor? specifically the 3.9l NewEdge?

[@Thatlowdsg]

The process is very similar. They have different oil pans & headers but as for the K member, rack n pinion, bolts should go it should be smooth sailing

[@TheOptionalKind]

@@Thatlowdsgidgf about the headers! IM GETTING S TUBE K MEMBER BOYS!

[@pmd7771969]

Does the k member work with the stock struts

[@Thatlowdsg]

Yes. Although since you'd be running springs too then you would need their "Spring Perch Kit" it has the same model number as the K member.

[@Mach1eric]

So I’m looking into a K member from team z & I’m doing it to drop some weight because I have 03 mach 1 with a teskid motor and going to run and the track just need a little input on your thoughts what my numbers would be 4.10’s FBO Slicks in the rear 26x10 Gutted trunk and rear seats E85 What do you think I’d run ?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Sorry didnt see your comment, I think it would run atleast 10 or less seconds in the 1/4? Or atleast close to that. if thats what you were talking about.

[@Mach1eric]

@@Thatlowdsg hopefully close to that but as I was cutting I decided to just gut the entire car

[@ricklodestein1101]

15.5's. Lol

[@bernainmolina7481]

I'm curious, would this tubular crossmember help for clearance to put a steering angle kit for drifting?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Possibly, I mean the answer is yes because with the tubular K member you have a lot of access and if the angle kits control arms are chopped / tubular you’d have good clearance to work up front. But the answer is also no because you wouldn’t need this for a angle kit, if the angle kit is just a control arm, ball joint, chopped/‘modded knuckles, (sway bars optional) you can get all that out without taking the k member out.

[@mosesandres3385]

Where did you buy the engine support brace from?

[@Thatlowdsg]

I bought it directly off AJE’s website. Select your year of mustang and match it up, can call / email for custom work I believe.

Good Job Guys

[@austinthompson7192]

Hey! I am about to buy this QA1 Kmember for an '00 mustang I just bought. Do I need Coilovers to do this install?

[@austinthompson7192]

nevermind. I see that its an AJE and you answered this below. looks like I'll get the AJE. Great video.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Sorry I didn’t see this! But either way no you can keep the stock arms and shocks!

[@andrewcoleman6214]

Would you have to square up stock k member if you took it of or would everything just bolt back up straight

[@Thatlowdsg]

Stock one should bolt in as is. Wouldn't hurt to make measurements tho to make sure. I have a separate vid over Squaring the K member here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaWQaXeKqK16jK8&ab_channel=Thatlowdsg

[@سليمانالمجيني-و1ش]

Good

[@jr6602]

What you do with your OEM K member? I need it! 😓🤑lmao

[@Thatlowdsg]

Lol I still have it.. cleaned it up and just storing it. Pickup only 😂

[@CoyoteDAworld]

Yo does this fit the v6 model ? The 2000

[@CoyoteDAworld]

I'm taking my engine out and thought why not upgrade that

[@Thatlowdsg]

It does not fit the v6 cause the motor mounts are different from the v8 but I’m pretty sure Aje carries k members for the v6 options tho!

[@pmd7771969]

Lots of unanswered questions

[@Thatlowdsg]

Oops

I have the factory control arms on right now. Didnt put the stabilizer bar back on cause I put coilovers on. But the factory or main aftermarket ones will fit! I have the video of me putting the control arms on in my coil over video
