checking squareness of k-member?

Does anyone happen to have a stock K-member for an LT1 car in good condition?
I thought mine was bent (wheel cocked back w/ slight positive camber). Went up to dallas and bought one from usa1autoparts.com.
Got it home and when comparing them it seems mine is just fine and theirs is way out of wack. Of course I didn't disassemble mine and compare until I already shelled out cash for this other one.
Checking squareness measuring from the inside of the caster adjustment bolt holes across to the front frame mount holes and also the alignment pins mine checks out. The 'new' one is almost 1/2" different from left-front to right rear vs. right-front vs left rear. Mine is within 1/8" Also when I flip mine up side down on it is pretty stable, resting on the pins in front and back edge of rear body mount surface (sorta). Again, the 'new' one rocks very badly, like an uneven table, around one inch. Measuring straight across inside each pair of body mount bolt holes as well as the pins the new one is about 1/2" narrower. I couldn't even bolt it into my car.
Anyway, anyone have a spare they could checkout for me?
Make a bunch of measurements and let me know if at all possible!
front to back, side to side, diagonal for squareness, using body mount bolt holes, alignment pins, caster holes. flip it upside down on a flat surface etc.
Thanks,
Morgan
