These pins make me nervous at the best of times but of mine was also not straight!! This should have been caught during the manufacturing process. I'm guessing they weld a bunch up at a time and don't look at them again...I've since fixed it. I don't get why you can't just have the metal plate alone with a hole in it and install an AN bolt with a small bushing or bearing instead of this set-up?? I might still just do that if I'm not happy with the final install.
