Houston...we got a problem....probably :)

With the LCA completely removed that LCA socket will flop around loosey goosey. Just like it's doing in the video.

Ok I looked really closely and it appears the whole shebang is moving. That's not right. You think you can give us a little longer than a 3 second video next time to argue over?

Yeah the arm can move around on the socket a little, that kind of play is normal (to varying degrees) and is what @Jim Lusk ‘s repair video shows how to fix. But the way those are mounted on the car the socket shouldn’t be moving up and down like it is.

I would guess that the LCA bushing is almost completely gone, it’s going metal to metal when the LCA is moving, and the socket is moving up and down which it shouldn’t be able to do if the bushing was intact.
