Hey all, I am wondering if it is normal to have some side to side play when the LCA pivot pin is placed into the pivot tube in the K frame? The reason I got to wondering about this is when I restored my K frame I reinforced the pivot tube area with large washers and while I was welding the washers in I felt that I may have gotten things a bit hot and I feel like I could see the pivot tube distort in shape a little bit as it cooled and maybe pull outwards. When I go to test fit my pivot pins into the K frame it bothers me that there is some slop there. But... there is also slop that is in the LCA pivots themselves by design. I would hate to install the whole engine/trans and K frame assembly only to find out later that the front end may not track well due to the slop in the K frame pivot tubes! Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
