Drummerboy4as Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’m slowly doing prep work for an eventual KA swap, part of which is rebuilding my 40 year old suspension. I figured while I had everything out I’d flip the center link to prepare for a KA swap. My question is that I swore I read that if you used a KA from a Frontier that flipping the center link wasn’t necessary but of course now I can’t find the comment/thread that I read that in. Would it be best to just go ahead and flip the center link since I have everything out and have already purchased the new inserts? I don’t have an engine yet so there’s a possibility that I won’t go with the Frontier (tho it’s my plan to use that motor /trans) There’s really no downside to having the center link flipped right? If I don’t need to and I did, no big. If I DO need to and I didn’t, that would suck lol 1 Quote Link to comment

Front sump KA from cars require flipping of the center link. 2 Quote Link to comment

Oh is only for the car KA’s? I thought there was something about the DE’s that they all needed the center link flipped. 1 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 No. Like I said, its only car KA. Regardless of DE or E. It's because of the car engines being front sump. They interfere with steering. All truck ka, regardless of DE or E are rear sump and fit perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment
