Im tired of wondering. Is this normal for the arms in the FKS to be loose? They woggle, adn the whole heel like wiggles. The turntable and baseplate are not moving, but the arm is??? heres a video

Pretty sure I read that it's fine. Once it's all mounted down it'll be fine.

yea, they move around. its normal. however, in rare occasions, the little disk that sits between the arm and the actual binding, can get crushed. the binding will still lock and close, but they have some slop. if that ever happens to be the case, its a pretty easy replacement. you just drill out the little rivet ends, and pull the heelstop out, disasemble them, and replace the part with one from a pair of doner bindings. epoxy the heelstop back in, and your done. i never watched the vid, cause my internet is being gay, but if they are newer, i almost garentee its not the problem. they just float around when not clamped in.

I think it's fine, have you tried adjusting the forward pressure? It could be that it's loose cause they are at the very end of the threads, try that and see. But FKS are going to have some play, don't worry about it.
East_Coast_Style:
Are you talking about the little (plastic?) circle piece between the forward pressure bars and the heel housing?
Cause I've got some old Look ZRs and those things are cracked on them, and I've been wondering about replacing them. Is it safe to ski them with the rings cracked?
And could I get new ones from Rossi/Look?
