Lower control arm issue

One of mine looked like that too after it was snugged in. It's been like that since 1999, 125,000 plus miles. It aligned just fine.
My new pins were a slip fit into the PST bushings as well; hasn't been an issue. The shanks on My new pins were the same size as the factory pins with the inner shells still on them.All pins seated properly in the 340 Duster K. All pins, dimensionally were close to identical. I barely gave the odd appearance a second thought. I put a little extra grease in the T-bar socket, and drove it home with the T-bar.I was an alignment tech at the time, and the alignment was not affected. It seemed to stay there. I haven't looked at it for many years, so cant say where it is today.
