I first put the shortened arm on a couple years ago, before everything else was rebuilt. I didn't like it then and went back to the original arm. But now I like it.

What you say is pretty right. In the example I gave above, everything was good in the front end except the king pins are loose in the axle eyes. I have no doubt that contributed to the issue.
