I ordered a Kmember and LCA's from AJE.
I had bought a K member out of a 97 mark from a junk yard on the East coast and sent it to AJE, because they said they don't/didn't have any jigs for the Mark VIII. They were pretty sure it's the same setup as the MN12 chasis, but said "sure, go ahead and send us one".
I don't know what/how they made the jig thoguh...
The First K member did not fit. The mounting holes were WAY off. See pics.
I sent that one in, and they made another one. The second one, again, did not fit properly again. I had my machinist enlarge/center the four munting holes, and bolted it up to the mark. I then went to install the LCA's. That was not going to happen though. First off, in order to bolt up the air struts to the LCAs, I had to force/bend the Air Struts forward about an inch. I did not like that idea too much though. Even with the Struts bent forward, I had to unscrew the strut rod part of the LCA all the way out to reach the front of the K member. I had 2 threads left on that bushing bolt when it was all said and done. That, deffinitely did not sit well with me. I started wondering if they even used the OEM k-member I sent them to jig up their K member and LCA's (yes, I had an OEM LCA sent tot hem as well).
I know for a fact my mark has NEVER been in a wreck. Period.
I then called them up again, and told them I would like to return the whole setup, as IT DID NOT FIT, and gave them the reasons why it didn't. The guy I spoke with (IIRC, his name was Jim) tells me that's fine, but he'll have to charge me a restocking fee. A WHAT????????? For a defective piece of equipment? Something that should have bolted right up? Horsesh!t!
I sent their 2nd K member back (Did I tell you how I had to pay for BOTH k-members to send them back? Jimbo there said he'd include a prepaid label for the 1st K member when he sent out the 2nd one; that didn't happen). When I asked him about it once I was ready to ship both K members back to him, he said he wouldn't pay for it.
Their reasoning for the "restocking" fee? Simple. "What if I can sell that K member to someone else? I have to keep it in stock until I do.", said Jim. Sell a Defective Kmember to someone else and pass it off as a new one? Uhhh. Ok. Their second reason for the restocking fee was they have to pay 6% for credit cards. I don't know who they use for a CC processor, but 6%? Either they are hard up for a CC processing company, or no other company will deal with them. Hell, I sell around 500-1000 dollars' worth of firerams a month, and when I take a CC - which is very seldom-, my processor charges me 3.5%.
Moral of the story: Don't even waste your time with those jokers.
