Lca pivot welded to k frame

Oh good grief. The LCA was welded to the pivot shaft? Or the pivot shaft was welded to the K member?

The brain trust that did that clearly has no clue how the suspension functions. The pivot shafts don’t turn. They’re held fixed in the K member while the LCA pivots about the shaft. If the LCA was welded to the pivot shaft, the pivot shaft then has to turn for the suspension to move, which isn’t how it’s supposed to work at all.

And if the holes in the K member are oblong, you’ll have to open up thr K frame and fix that. And likely replace the pivot tube that’s supposed to be welded solidly into the K frame.
