LCA doesn't look right

Hmmmmm. Could you elaborate on the "pivot tube"?

The tube in the K-frame that the LCA pivot goes through. Basically where you mount the LCA to the K. All that mount consists of is a tube that is spot welded to the inside of the K frame, and the spot welds can (and do) break, which usually leaves the pivot tube able to flop around on one end.
