I had an issue recently with the '32 wishbone on a chassis that Zach Suhr did for me. It was really odd. No visible damage, yet it was out of square. The ball lined up to the divot in the K, yet was about an 1" to the side. Obviously, it was bent, but it wasn't obvious to the eye until it was going to be mounted.

If your wishbone is mounted to the K, I would undo it, mount everything else and see where the ball section of the wishbone falls. It may help you narrow down what is going on.

I'll admit I haven't read every post on this thread, but have you confirmed its the axle that's the problem?
