pictures would be a great start to help answer this question. exactly how many parts were replaced other than the K ? was there any previous crash damage in the past that could have been improperly repaired ?

new bushing time for sure. i have seen some walk out like that shown, but not as bad. there seems to be an attempt at tightening up the slop in the control arm halves by the addition of the strap chunk on the end. it's possible the bushing should have been replaced at that time but wasn't.

That’s a 68-72 k-frame.
Replace both drivers and passenger bushings.
At the same time look if the LCA pins have the same dimensions and fit in the k-member correctly
A-body LCA pins are different than E/B body pins.
It looks a little weird to me. Could be fine. But verify everything and trust nothing

Couple good ideas here. I didn't even notice the strap welded on LCA. Too much fugly goin on, I suppose. I will inspect pivot pins in K, and may get some adjustable strut rods as I did not know there were different sizes, that is a strong possibility. Thanks to all. Measure your strut rods front mounting edge to edge. There is a measurement out there for 67-72 and 73-76
