LCA pivot shaft and adjustable strut rod issues

Since there were so few initial responses to this thread,I kinda forgot about it,and went about my business,thinking I was the only one with this issue.Unfortunatly,there is at least another member with issues as well.The strut rod issues were fairly easily resolved,with a burr grinder,heck I couldn't even get the new LCA attachment bolts through the mounting hole,without burring.Here again,production tolerances were never the greatest.The new LCA pivot shafts,well that's a different can of worms.To James at PST,I'm pretty certain that you are the person I talked to on the phone when I called to discuss this issue,or non issue,as you put it.You also told me that too much time had elapsed,since my purchase,not sure why it makes a difference who's shelf they're sitting on.I appreciate the fact that these parts are being machined here in the USA,but what country of origin are the blanks coming from?Fortunatly I had a good factory pivot shaft,to replace the damaged unit,and used a factory jam nut on the other side,with the new shaft,without issue.Front end all back together and all is good,but it was a setback,in respect to time,and money spent.
