QA1 52625 Front Crossmember Retrofit Kit for 1973-1987 Chevy C10

The QA1 52625 Crossmember Retrofit Kit is a bolt-in upgrade designed for 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 trucks with existing QA1 coilover conversion systems. This complete tubular front crossmember system adds powered rack-and-pinion steering while offering 2 inches of additional drop range (up to 8 inches total) and saves an additional 70 pounds of weight compared to stock components.

Key Features:

• Powered rack-and-pinion steering provides quicker, tighter steering response and increased steering angle for larger wheels and tires
• Tubular crossmember design improves ground clearance, making the undercab rails the truck's lowest point
• Updated lower shock mounts add 2 inches of clearance with new upper shock mounts that increase travel for enhanced ride quality and performance
• Compatible with existing QA1 coilover systems—easily swap components on your current QA1 shocks and control arms
• Bolt-in installation with black powder-coated finish—no cutting or welding required
• Modular engine mount design accommodates small block Chevy, big block Chevy, and LS engine applications (sold separately)
• Includes updated hardware for existing QA1 sway bar

Important Notes:

• This kit does not include shocks, springs, or control arms (these components are included with QA1 coilover systems)
• Engine mounts sold separately and are year-range specific to maintain original transmission mount location
• Optimized bump steer settings require at least 18-inch wheels; 15-inch wheels are compatible but may require adjustment
• Steering shaft not included—requires appropriate U-joint for your model year
• May require power steering hoses, headers, and oil pan depending on engine configuration

This crossmember retrofit system delivers improved drivability, enhanced steering feel, and the perfect stance for your square-body C10 build.
